Giuliana Mendez is a dancer who sustained serious spinal injuries following a car crash in February of last year.

Proceeds of the silent auction go to the #GIULIANASTRONG fundraiser and cover costs related to her recovery.

Live music will be performed by Gatlin Parker from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and features food from several vendors.
