MEF held its third annual Dancing with our Stars fundraiser on January 28, 2017 at the Doubletree Hilton in Danvers, netting $50,000! The event featured thirty-two adults in eight different group acts and over ninety Masco students!

All funds raised will go toward providing equipment and materials for new projects in the classrooms, as well as in the newly constructed STEAM Lab which MEF funded and Masconomet opened this past September.

MEF would like to thank all the wonderful people who participated in the fundraiser, who voted for the dancers before the event, who provided products and services, and who attended the night of the show. A special thank you to our choreographers – without whom this event would not have been possible – Betsy Buccafusca, Greg Coles, Mikayla Reid, Carly Richards and Jody Shea!

Thank you to our amazing adult dancers: Susan Budrewicz, Becky Brockelman, Scott Brockelman, Darnell Canada, Elisa Colella, Tony Colella, Jeanine Cunniff, Chris DeLay, Leslie DiNanno, Tim Feeney, Deb Folsom, Chris Gardner, Michele Gaudin, Susan Giallombardo, Nancy Hart, Patti Heintzelman, Paul Jamieson, Deborah King, Trish Landgren, Christina Leonowert, Carla Lucas, Sheila McDaid, Kevin McSweeney, Bonnie Muise, Michele Nowak, Coleen O’Brien, Kelly Pickering, Al Rosenbaum, Darcia Tremblay, Tina Varinos, Frankie Varinos, and Al Vaz.

Thank you to our ninety Masco student dancers, who showed us, once again, how much talent resides at Masco!

A big thank you to our judges, Maura Craig, Scott Morrison, Erica Cadigan and Doug (VB) Goudie; our MC Jack Milmoe, and Doubletree Hilton for an elegant and delicious evening! And a very special thank you to our event co-chair, Cassandra McMahon.

And . . . Congratulations to our 2017 winners!
