Helping Stephanie...

Remember the movie, “Meet the Fockers”?
That family seemed to experience one disaster after another!

As a real life sequel, we’d like you to “Meet the Fockes”!

Bob, Stephanie, Danny, and Shelby Focke have lived in Colerain Township for over 20 years. They are a family who has endured more than their share of hardships.

In June of 2005, at the age of 15, Danny suffered a severe brain injury which affected his balance and learning abilities. It took a full year for him to recover.

Two years ago, at the age of 10, Shelby was diagnosed with Wegener’s Granulomatosis, a lifelong, rare, and serious autoimmune disease that requires continuing treatments, surgeries, and doctor’s visits.

Stephanie, who has undergone treatment for Graves’ Disease, is now battling breast cancer, a disease that took her mother’s life when Stephanie was only 3 years old! In order to help out with the costs of continuing medical care, a benefit dance is being held for Stephanie.

Please join us for a great time on Saturday, April 12th, 2008 from 8:00 – Midnight at:

Lakeridge Hall
7210 Pippin Rd.
Cincinnati, Ohio 45239

Advance tickets are $20.00 per person, (that includes live music, beer, soda, and snacks), and may be purchased by calling Diane Fehrenbach at : (513) 738-7116 or (513) 579-5980.
Tickets may also be purchased at the door, space permitting, at a cost of $25.00 per person.

In addition to great music and a good time, the dance will feature a split the pot and silent auction to benefit Stephanie.
