Grebel Dance & Parisian Charity Sale Sponsoring Mary Paulin’s Hope Fund November 6, 2004 6-10 am Riverchase Galleria Dancers and singers from Grebel Dance will perform at the Parisian Charity Event at the Riverchase Galleria. Twice yearly, Stevan and Debbie Grebel gather performers to benefit Mary’s Hope Fund, a fund started 4 years, after Mary Paulin survived an infection that led to multiple amputations of all her limbs and necessary restructuring of her face. Mary has two daughters, Vallerie Paulin, a junior at the University of Alabama, and Hannah Farmer, a sixth-grader at Vance Middle School. Vallerie openes and finishes the talent of the event with songs for her mother. Vallerie is currently rehearsing with Summerfest—the Paulin family was a major talent in Town & Gown Theatre while under the direction of James Hatcher. Other talented performers, who perform a variety, and sometimes several pieces, of song, ballet, jazz, and hip-hop dances, include: Samantha Stundsted, Haley Ingrum, Dana Stehr, Morgan Sellers, Molly Burns, Jacqui Ferguson, Tara Veasey, Kaylen Moyers, Hannah Pratt, Audrey & Avery Henson, Abby Taylor, Ariel Smith, Jamiese Jenkins, Kathryn Shields & The Masters Commission, Dannika Streip, Rebecca Rowe, and Amanda Brice. The music and sound system is run and provided by members of the North Shelby Baptist Church. The charity event organizer is Darlene Raine of Parisian. |
