Disco with Donna’ to help people with disabilities

‘With 24 hit albums and dozens of top singles, Donna Summer is the featured artist for the eighth annual concert benefit at 6 p.m. Sunday Feb. 17 to support projects and programs for people with neurological disabilities.

Stand Among Friends, a nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities to live with independence and success, organizes a major concert party each year to raise money for the Center for the Study of Neurological Disabilities, which opened in December 2005 at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

Stand Among Friends has secured 300 tickets in the intimate Sinatra Theater at the Bank Atlantic Center for this year’s pre-concert cocktail and dinner party, which begins at 6 p.m. Feb. 17, two hours before Donna Summer takes the stage. Sponsorship packages range from $1,500 to $15,000. Individual reservations for the pre-concert party are $225 each and include prime seating in the first 12 rows and a parking pass.

“Like Donna says, we ‘work hard for the money,’ but this will be a fun, enjoyable way to raise money for a terrific cause – namely, the one in five of us who are disabled,” explained Shawn Friedkin of Boca Raton, president and founder of Stand Among Friends. “Fund-raisers like our annual concert event help us fund programs and services so that people with disabilities may lead stronger and more productive lives. So please join us as we disco with Donna!”
