I’m committed to raising awareness for the Lung Association in memory of Andrea’s beautiful mother and my own grandmother\, Janet\, who was a significant role model in my life.”\nOlivia Berrios – high school senior who is passionate about community service and leadership and is dancing in honor of her grandmother\, Judy\, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). “I’m looking forward to educating the younger generation on the Lung Association’s mission.”\n\nIn addition to the dazzling dance numbers that guests will enjoy during the dinner program\, attendees of the Sunset Soiree will also have the opportunity to partake in custom experiences and memorable moments throughout the event\, like: \n\nThemed cocktails by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits;\nA tempting silent auction presented by Niefeld Wealth Planning of Raymond James;\nInteractive photo ops by UKG;\nInspirational mission moment by Memorial Cancer Institute; and more!\n\nFor tickets or more information about the event\, visit www.LUNGFORCESunsetSoiree.org.
