The Danger Committee

Mick Lunzer and Jason LeMay are world champion jugglers. Caleb McEwen is a professional comedy writer and knife thrower. Together, they formed The Danger Committee and became Reynaldo, The Bald Guy, and The Other One. After national tours, television appearances, and lots of standing ovations, you could say the rest is history, but they prefer the term “legendary cautionary tale”.

Some would have seen a non-juggler joining a world champion juggling team as a problem, but they viewed it as an improvement. After all, the world can be evenly divided into two groups of people: those who love juggling, and those who hate it. The trio decided to create an experience that would entertain both. The show they would develop included juggling, knife throwing, and other amazing feats of skill–but it wasn’t about any of that. It was about a group of very different personalities thrown together in a work environment and tasked with creating something that was greater than the sum of its parts. Sound familiar?

Within one year they were on an eighteen-city tour and they had booked their first national television appearance. Then came more corporate events, original theatrical productions, more television appearances, and so much more. It seems like a lot and there’s so much more to the story–but they’re just getting started on the next chapter.

This will be The Danger Committee’s second appearance at a CA gala, but one of the members has been on our campus many, many times. Jason LeMay is a 1986 Concordia Academy graduate!

Thank you to our generous 2025 Red Carpet Gala sponsors!

2025 Gala

We’re so thankful for the incredible support shown to Concordia Academy at our Red Carpet Gala on April 12, 2025. The event raised over $140,000 for CA students, which is a school record! The evening was filled with fun, friends, fantastic music by Gracenotes, and incredible Beacon energy.

2024 Dinner Auction

On April 13, 2024, we rounded up hundreds of Beacon supporters for our annual CA Dinner Auction, and they had a hoot playing games, eating delicious food, bidding on fantastic live auction items, racing in the Dessert Dash, learning to line dance and rope cattle, and dancing to exceptional music by the Jason Paulson Band. But the best part of our auction was that we raised over $80,000 for student scholarships!
