It's Your Chance To Shine - Spotlight On Life

You are invited as the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin (NKFW) hosts
a sneak preview of the newest sport at the 2010 NKF U.S. Transplant Games -
ballroom dancing!

The "Spotlight on Life" Gala will be held Saturday, January 30 at the Mequon
Country Club. This black-tie optional event will be a celebration of the
"second chance at life" given through organ donation and the science of
transplantation.

The spotlight will shine brightly on Wisconsin's "Medical Stars." You will
delight in watching professional and amateur dancers from Fred Astaire Dance
Studios perform on behalf of each of Wisconsin's transplant centers:
Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin, Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center,
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, and University of Wisconsin - Madison!
Each couple will showcase a style of ballroom dance from the Night Club,
Latin, and Smooth dance divisions, which will be featured at the 2010 NKF
Transplant Games. The fate of the dancers will be in the hands of the
audience as votes are cast for their favorite performance.

In addition to the ballroom dance exhibition, guests will enjoy a delicious
dinner and cash bar along with the musical talents of the Jeannine Rivers
Group.

Ticket prices range from $40/ticket to $80/ticket. Proceeds will support
transplant recipients, living donors, and donor family members who will be
attending the 2010 NKF U.S. Transplant Games as part of Team Wisconsin.
