Charlotte Partner Kobi Kennedy Brinson and Charlotte Ballet professional Addul Manzano bedazzled their fans with their salsa stylings while raising more than $80,000 for charity at the Charlotte Ballet “Dancing with the Stars” gala on March 5. Ms. Brinson and Mr. Manzano competed against five other celebrity/professional pairings for ticket sales and donations at this annual black tie event, which raises funds for the Charlotte Ballet company and each star’s chosen charity. Winston sponsored the event and our attorneys and staff came out in force to support Ms. Brinson.
Ms. Brinson’s performance benefited Legal Services of Southern Piedmont and Legal Aid of North Carolina, which do amazing work every day to help meet basic needs and provide opportunities for justice in the community. She is a former member of the Charlotte Ballet Board of Trustees and continues to be a dedicated patron and subscriber. Her love of ballet also led to her 2010 founding of Step Up Soiree, which has raised over $100,000 for the recruitment, training, and development of dancers of color.
