Stage Door Canteen is no ordinary swing band. For more than a decade, this 14-piece big band orchestra has brought high style, elegance, and unbridled energy to special events all over the Northeast - and beyond. Stage Door Canteen is led by alto saxophonist Roger Gamache, a graduate of Berklee College of Music.  Featured vocalists are Berklee grad and accomplished singer/trumpeter Kami Lyle, and Mike Connors - a versatile vocalist who sings Frank Sinatra as well as contemporary styles.  Stage Door Canteen plays music of all types, but specializes in swing jazz from the ‘40s & ‘50s.

WOMR 92.1 FM is nonprofit community radio broadcasting from Provincetown and serving the entire Cape.  More than 90% of WOMR's programming is produced locally, including live local news, spoken word programming on the arts and community affairs, and a wide variety of music including jazz, roots, oldies, opera and alternative rock.  Community participation is welcome and encouraged, and the station has a thriving program to train new DJ's of all ages - including dedicated slots for local students.  The station is also closely involved with the Barnstable County Emergency Planning Committee (BCREPC), and active in plans to serve the community in the event of a natural disaster or other major emergency.  

 The WOMR Orleans Expansion Project is the endeavor to improve WOMR's signal from Orleans to Hyannis and to introduce the viability of WOMR as an asset to the mid-Cape community. WOMR plans to install a second transmitter in Orleans by 2010 which will broadcast its signal at 91.3 FM.

 The Homeless Prevention Council is one of the most well-respected non-profits on the Lower Cape. Established in 1991 to combat homelessness in the eight towns of Chatham, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown, the Homeless Prevention Council has provided continuous service toward that goal since beginning in 1991. The premise was that what individual towns and churches are not structured to do individually, they can achieve with a central agency providing a professional and experienced staff supported by qualified individuals. As a community-based organization, the Homeless Prevention Council is positioned to identify the unique problems and the available resources to prevent or intervene in homelessness.

The Swinging Sweethearts Ball is generously sponsored by the following local businesses: Seamen's Bank; Agway of Cape Cod; the Land Ho; Latanzi, Spaulding & Landreth, P.C.; American Heritage Realty; Cape Air; Cape Cod Five; and Orleans Wine & Spirits.
