Hot Mamaz cast and crew in September 2007 launch

Australia’s Leukemia Foundation will benefit from the Hot Mamaz’s fund-raising event, “Dance for a Cause,” tonight.

The charity event, a dinner-dance affair, is to be staged at the Concord RSL Club in cooperation with the Philippine Community Council of NSW.

The dance program will comprise a mixture of public dancing of varying styles, from Latin American to swing, jive, ballroom, and new vogue, according Hot Mamaz president Arlene Howe.

”Halfway through the night, we will be showcasing roughly a 20 minute dance exhibition,” Ms Howe said.

Performing dance routines will be Violy and Brian (Rumba), Samantha and Josh (Jive), Shirley and Jerry (Samba), Vilma and Neale (Modern Medley), Liza and Michael (Cha Cha), Michelle and Elmer (Rumba).

The program will also feature a Hot Mamaz Sing-A-Long Dance presentation with Ms Howe, Sheila Collantes, Neria Soliman, Vi Bryant, Michelle Vallejo, Angel Laney, Bernadine Williams, Vilma Enriquez-Smith, Nonna Aguas and Luzette Saez.

The night will be capped by a raffle for lots of prizes.

”We will be celebrating and congratulating many families for the courage they have shown as their loved ones suffered from leukemia,” Ms Howe said.

”Our fund-raising event is to show that we, the Hot Mamaz, and the people who are supporting our cause on the night do care for those who are sad and in pain.

”Our objective is to show that we support each patient’s fight to live and be able to continuously raise more funds to help our nominated charities.”

By coincidence, Mothers’ Day is tomorrow, Sunday, 10 May.

”With the Hot Mamaz being all mothers, the timing comes perfect. Our celebration is a great occasion for the Hot Mamaz and the rest of the mothers to shine, celebrate, make a difference and bond with each other.”

Hot Mamaz is a Sydney-based, vibrant group of married and widowed women whose passion in life is fashion, friends, fun and fund-raising. Outside Hot Mamaz, the group members are professional models, choreographers, dancers, business executives, lawyers, writers, educators, and housewives.

Hot Mamaz launched in September last year with a fashion parade at St Marys.
