What better way to help a great cause than by partying with celebrities?

Miami, step forward at the “Step by Step Benefit for Paralysis and Stem Cell Research and party with the stars.  The charity gala begins at The Gansevoort Hotel @ 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 28th where celebrities like Nicky Hilton, Brooke Hogan, and Akon will be walking the red carpet for an amazing charity.  Maybe Nicky will bring party princess Paris along?

This year’s gala event will honor two target families affected by paralysis. Mr. Stephen Cardea is a quadriplegic, unexpectedly and instantly paralyzed from the neck down by a rare hemangioma bleed in his cervical spine. As a husband and father, Stephen’s tragic turn has left his family in desperate need of assistance. Recovery is a definite possibility for Stephen and proceeds from the gala event will go to fund treatment and therapy his insurance won’t cover.

Performing live is Grammy nominated and triple platinum recording artist Akon!

Tickets are $500 and include cocktails and a three course dinner. Mix and mingle with Miami’s elite. For ticket information please contact Tara Christie at 305.335.0502 or email TChristietlc@aol.com.

Want to send me to the party?  Call Tara and let her know!
