Dancing With The Martin Stars from page 1

Right, with Eva B. Velez and directed by Marianella
Tobar; and Sue Whittington, with Jang Don.
For months the dancers have been learning their steps
and choosing fabulous costumes. That’s only part of the
challenge, however. They have also been raising funds
with a variety of mini events like dinners, wine tastings,
and auctions to boost their fundraising totals.
The goal for this year’s event is $280,000. “The
dancers have just blown us away with their passion and
enthusiasm,” Suffich said. “We truly believe that they’re
going to reach the goal and exceed it.”
