Mercer County Chain Reaction Youth Council is set host Rangeela, a multi-cultural dance show.
Proceeds are set to benefit March of Dimes. Since its inception, Rangeela has raised more than $500,000 for the organization.
The show dates back to 2001, when it was founded by Rahul Bansal, a West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North graduate. Today Neeraj Devulapalli, of Princeton Day School, leads the event.
This year, Rangeela will feature dances by prominent local choreographers and a musical segment by Sunil Mungee, an Indian singer. The performance is followed by an Indian dinner from Palace of Asia.
Rangeela is scheduled for 4 p.m. Nov. 23 at WW-P HS North, 90 Grovers Mill Road, Plainsboro Township.
Ticket prices vary from $100 to $20 for students.
Chain Reaction is comprised of local area high school students who are dedicated to the mission of the March of Dimes. This group of over 20 volunteers hosts various awareness events and fundraisers for the March of Dimes year round.
Led by co-presidents Pranay Nadella, of WW-P HS South, and Meghnee Patel of WW-P HS North, Chain Reaction was originally active in only the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district. Over the years the group has expanded and now includes participation from students who attend various high schools in Mercer County, including Robbinsville High School, Princeton High School, Princeton Day School and SciCore Academy.
This year, the March of Dimes, the leading non-profit organization for maternal and infant health, celebrates its 75th anniversary and its ongoing work to help all babies get a healthy start in life.
