Third Annual KSMF Summer Event is a smashing success!

On June 25, 2005, over 200 Motown lovers and Kate Svitek Memorial Foundation supporters traveled back in time for an electrifying evening of Motown music. The evening’s first class, musical entertainment was provided by the Wallers, a family based group from Richmond, Virginia. The Fantastic Waller Family is made up of three blood brothers and sisters(two women and a man). They are all great lead and back-up vocalists who are highly choreographed, beautifully costumed show stoppers.

The energized crowd danced to music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s with hits from the Supremes, Spinners, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, Gladys Knight and many other entertainers from that great era.

The clear tent with tiny bee lighting added the special effect of dancing under the stars. More than $80,000 dollars was raised by the Motown Memories Event and Calendar Ad Book -- a direct result of the tireless effort of the event committee, adeptly chaired by Marsha and Steve Milakofsy. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the committee members, Culinary Concepts, which delivered fabulous food and elegant service, and Jill Anderson from Anderson Graphics who outdid herself with this year’s ad book.

We hope to see another great crowd of Foundation supporters at the next Annual Un-Black Tie Event scheduled for June 24, 2006. Please be sure to peruse the photos below for a better look at the perfect evening.
