Leukemia/Lymphoma Benefit at the Zone
from Michelle Michaels: On Wednesday, May 9 at the Zone Dance Club, 133 W 18th St, Erie PA, we helped raise money for the fight against leukemia and lymphoma and Kristen Bailey was behind it. We raised over $1,700 and within 10 weeks Kristen raised 22,000 and became Woman of the Year. Thanks go out to Alaska Thunderfuck, Michelle Michaels, Celine Dashawn, Misty Kall, Velvet Lace, Buffy Lynn Hayes, and the Erie crowd for always coming out to help me and help others!
