Teena Rasmussen, owner of Paradise Flower Farms on Maui, is chairing the Growing Dreams on Broadway fund-raiser.
"As fun and glamorous as Growing Dreams always is, we want to remember what it's all about," Rasmussen said. "Ultimately, the show helps Maui Youth and Family Services to continue to provide services for Maui's abused and neglected children, including crucial foster care, mentoring and support."
