2000 Flushes and 'Dolly Parton' Award $20,000 to Special Olympics Nevada; Quirky Competition Featured Tribute Artists Playing 'Musical Thrones' on Toilets.

LAS VEGAS -- What brought "Dolly Parton," 19 other celebrity tribute artists, the Mayor of Las Vegas and five national charities together last week? A $20,000 donation to the Special Olympics Nevada and a game of "musical thrones."

2000 Flushes celebrated more than 20 years as the "king" of the automatic toilet bowl cleaner category with a game of "musical thrones," played just like musical chairs, but using toilets. In the quirky competition, 20 tribute artists competed for the chance to donate $20,000 to his or her charity of choice from five participating organizations.

Dolly Parton tribute artist Sandy Anderson walked away the winner of "musical thrones," and chose Special Olympics Nevada as the charity to which 2000 Flushes donated the $20,000.

The event was held at Fashion Show Mall and hosted by a local favorite, Elvis impersonator Brendan Paul. Tribute artist game participants included Britney Spears, Ricky Martin, Marilyn Monroe, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Gwen Stefani and more.

At 1:30 p.m., the Fashion Show Mall's great hall main stage, affixed with 20 toilets, rose into view. After an introduction by "Elvis" (Paul), the impersonators took their positions, and the audience watched as the impersonators stayed in the game by staying on the john.

In 2000 Flushes' version of the game, as each impersonator was ousted, he or she moved to the 80-foot catwalk and completed a two-minute performance in character for the audience. Following their performances, impersonators mingled and interacted with the crowd.

At approximately 3:30 p.m., Anderson announced she was playing for Special Olympics Nevada, and she, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40 Company (maker of 2000 Flushes), presented the $20,000 check.

At the end of the competition, 2000 Flushes donated the 20 toilets to the Las Vegas chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
