Rhythms for Ruby

By On Deck Staff

On Saturday Aug. 30, there will be a benefit fundraising concert for Ruby Blount at the Middle Township Performing Arts Center at the high school.
Blount grew up in Whitesboro and graduated from Middle Township High School in 1983. Last December she was the victim of a tragic accident which resulted in her leg being amputated.
Because she has been well known in Whitesboro, many people have heard about her accident, and now are coming together to support her.
In the evening following the Whitesboro Reunion, a fundraiser called “Rhythms for Ruby” will be held. It will be a show featuring local talent, including Hamer’s school of Karate, Dancers Two Dancers, Joanne Reagan’s Dancers, local singers and tap dancer Karen Callaway Williams (Riverdance on Broadway, among others).
Williams has enlisted the help of some of her entertainment friends including dancers from the NJ Tap Ensemble and Savion Glover (Happy Feet, Sesame Street and Bring in the Noise/ Bring in the Funk on Broadway).
Ticket prices are $35, $20, and $10 (for children 12 and under). Because this event is sponsored by Concerned Citizens of Whitesboro, all donations are tax deductable. All of the proceeds will to go to Blount.
The Lord has blessed her with life, health and strength Please come to hear her powerful testimony.
A silent auction will take place prior to the event.
Karen Callaway Williams has asked if the community would assist in making sure that our elders who desire to attend this event have transportation to and from the PAC Center.
