Manna is a non profit organization helping those who are battling serious illnesses by providing nutritional meals suited to each individual’s dietary and medical needs. Kristen speaks with MANNA’s CEO, Sue Daugherty, as well as Shelly Power, Executive Director for Pennsylvania Ballet about a fundraiser that they are co-hosting on Saturday, May 30th with 100% of the proceeds benefiting MANNA and their mission. MANNA is celebrating their 30th Anniversary this year, and the two organizations have partnered together for a fundraiser called Shut Up and Dance for the past 28 of those 30 years. The dancers of Pennsylvania Ballet direct, produce, choreograph, dance in all in benefit of MANNA. The show this year was cancelled because of the pandemic, but Saturday’s Virtual 80’s Dance Party will be a great substitute for fundraising while still having a totally tubular time, from home. This bitchin' party will feature a DJ, celebrity guests, a special message from Leslie Odom, Jr. and lots more. Join MANNA and the P
