(Seguin) -- What better way to honor a mariachi singer from Seguin battling cancer than through a night of music and dancing. A full fledged fundraising effort will be underway tonight on the campus of Texas Lutheran University for Carla Medina, the lead vocalist of Mariachi Las Altenas -- an all female mariachi band from San Antonio hailed as one of the finest of its kind in the country. Medina will be supported by tonight's Cumbia Under the Stars fundraiser being hosted by TLU's Mexican American Student Association (MASA). Over a year ago, Medina was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer. Medina, a founder of the 14-member mariachi group, is not only a native of Seguin but has supported the local community with performances at Teatro De Artes De Juan Seguin's Noche De Gala contest and other festivities.
TLU Professor Dr. Cesar Silva says tonight's fundraiser has been a student and community spirited event. He says they wanted to offer something fun while raising money for a good cause. "We will have live music going the entire time. We have a band coming out of Austin. They are a cover band. They are called Santa Lucia. We have a surprise performance which I'm not allowed to talk about but it's a beautiful surprise performance and then we have food for everybody. We have a silent auction based on a lot of donations and out of the kindness of the community of Seguin and from some members of Texas Lutheran University as well. So, we will have that set up. We will have face painting for the kids. We will have balloon animals for the kids and hopefully some dancing and it's happening right near Langner Hall. It's called Alumni Plaza. Cumbia, pg. 3
The Seguin Parks and Recreation Department will host a free movie night tonight at Park West. Families are invited out for a special visit with Blue the Raptor. See story on page ???
