GRASS VALLEY, Calif. February 6, 2012 - The Grass Valley Wine Company will host a benefit for Tresa Honaker of AirAligned dance group this Friday, February 10th, from 5pm-9pm. Entertainment will be donated by the legendary local group, Travis & Blue Company. The Wine Co. will donate 25% of our profits in addition to all covers collected at the door.

On January 11th, Honaker fell 15 ft while practicing her aerial work causing permanent injury to her spinal cord. Although paralyzed from the waist down, Tresa hopes to continue her work teaching dance and aerial, choreographing and cutting hair. This may take some time and she will need financial support for ongoing medical expenses. Tresa was a founding member of The Movement Alliance Modern Dance Company and founder and current director of AirAligned aerial dance group. AirAligned was chosen as the recipient of the 2010 Dr. Leland and Sally Lewis Performing Arts Award, which is presented annually by the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. Tresa is a contributing member of The Center for the Arts in Grass Valley and has been instrumental in the growth of children's performance workshops held at The Center.
We hope you can join us for a night of authentic Blues, local wine & support the Wine Co. in helping out such an inspirational member of our community. Please note the $5 cover will be donated to the benefit. Ages 21 & up only.
If you are unable to attend, donations can also be made on Tresa's website via PayPal or at Tri-Counties Bank (formerly Citizen's Bank). Please make checks out to Julie Lang, FOB Tresa Honaker.
