The Mariachi Latin Band and DJ Mariya Maderich will provide music to keep the dance floor busy.

The gala will include a silent auction with items on the block including round-trip air tickets to the U.S., Longchamp and MCM designer handbags, Chanel cosmetics hampers, and a Persian carpet. A piata raffle will feature a Club Med vacation as the grand prize.

There will also be an introduction to three of the main charities supported: Anna’s House, Spring of Life and Hae Nu Ri Study Room.

Tickets are 125,000 won for SIWA members and 140,000 won for non-SIWA members, and 1.25 million won for a table of 10 (members and non-members). Reservations can be made via www.siwapage.com by April 17.
