The two most important things to know about this event:

1. Salsa Spirit participants are encouraged to drink, eat, and rest as much as their bodies require. Salsa Spirit is about helping a hospital do great things. It is not about filling a hospital with salsa dancers.

2. The evening is open to everyone; we ask individuals not raising funds to support those that are by making sure they have a partner. Please spread the word.

Who, what, when, where, why, and how:

Who:Everyone that enjoys dancing salsa or mambo and that wants to make a difference in the lives of children.
