How did Grounding Point Dance Company get involved with OPCC?

"I have been volunteering at OPCC as a Pilates instructor since November of 2008. These women are so inspiring to me. I want to give them more than just my time. I want to raise awareness of the homelessness problem we have in America today and I want to help raise money to support their current programs. We will be having a silent auction and reception prior to the performance" states Smaczny.
