Friday night at Jenks the cast of Jersey Shore held the Deena’s Dance for a Donor and Auction in hopes to raise money for Be The Match. The event was hosted by Deena and her Jersey Shore cast mates, starring special Guest DJ Pauly D, 495 Productions and Viacom. This event drew a huge crowd and people definitely were not shy about donating! They raised over $40K for Be The Match. Be The Match is one of the largest bone marrow transplant registry's globally.
