SILENT AUCTION:
There are so many fabulous items (private lessons, shoes, gift
certificates, a night at a luxurious (and famous) hotel, and so much
more!). Were so grateful for the generosity and support people have
shown us. It is now your turn to bid and grab your favorite item!


Were committed to donate 100% of proceeds to Partners In Health.
This has been made possible because all the stars and event staff are
volunteers. Were also thankful for the beautiful space that has been
generously donated by Paul Pellicoro of DanceSport.


If you have a fabulous item you would like to donate for this event,
please visit www.tangoforhaiti.org or contact
lindsey@tangoforhaiti.org

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
