Parishioner Chris Drewniak Competing to Raise funds for Pathlight

Nov 02, 2017

Parishioner and longtime Altar Server Chris Drewniak is participating in a dance competition fundraiser for Pathlight in Springfield. Pathlight provides enrichment and recreation programs for teens and adults with disabilities.

Chris has teamed up with a young lady named Oliwia Bragiel, who was Miss Polonia of Massachusetts 2017, to participate in Pathlight’s “Let’s Dance” fundraiser. It’s like "Dancing With the Stars". Oliwia and Chris are one of ten couples. With the help of professional dance instructors, each couple is learning a different dance routine which we will perform at the Gateway City Arts in Holyoke on Saturday, November 18.

As a team, Chris and Oliwia have set a goal is to raise $2,000. One of the ways to help them reach their goal is by voting for them online by clicking here .  Voting costs $5.  You can vote in multiples and you can vote more than once. Click here to reach the website  that gives you more information about the event and the contestants.  You can also see each of the ten contestants, as well as a short video of one of their dance rehearsals. Click here for a flyer with information about the "Let's Dance Fundraiser."

 Voting starts now and ends on Friday, November 17, the day before the event.  Every vote brings them closer to their goal.  Would you please pledge your support with a donation to their team?
