Some 250 people descended on the Padonia Park Club to cut loose like Kevin Bacon on the dance floor and generally have a good time, while raising money for The Kendall Burrows Foundation.

The Foundation was created in the memory of Kendall Burrows – a happy-go-lucky Baltimore County girl who succumbed to an auto-immune disorder when she was 9 years old. It raises money and awareness for other children in similar circumstances by benefiting the palliative care program at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
The gala – which honors Kendall’s love of dancing and the color purple – raised more than $100,000 in this, its sixth year.
