She is currently undergoing treatment and will require a lengthy hospital stay.

The admission charge of $30 per person includes a buffet, cash bar, door prizes, a 50/50 raffle and a disco dance contest.

Entertainment will be provided by DJ Wally of Classic Entertainment, in addition to Phil Fraricauilla portraying John Travolta from the movie “Saturday Night Fever.” Seventies-style dress is optional.

The Optimists are asking local businesses to help with the donation of door prizes and ticket sales for this community event. Contact (732) 363-1346 or [email protected] for tickets and details.
