High-schoolers to host variety show for shoes

A dozen high school students from the greater Charlotte area are organizing a variety show for May 4th to raise money for Samaritan's Feet.
The students, called Youth Ambassadors, are raising funds to travel to Burundi, East Africa, this summer.
Samaritan's Feet is a non-profit organization that works to give impoverished people, usually in third-world countries, shoes.
In Burundi, the teens will give shoes to needy children and help with a national youth conference sponsored by the Burundi government, said Tracey Stipp, the Youth Ambassador program organizer.
The evening of May 4, the high-schoolers will host a variety show -- dessert provided -- as well as a silent auction.
The show will be at the Samaritan's Feet location, which is 1900 Associates Lane in Charlotte.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.
This year's Charlotte Youth Ambassadors are:

Gabby Arguello, Mallard Creek
Davey Arroyo, Concord
Savannah Conrad, Metrolina Christian Academy
Jasminee Elston, Myers Park
Peyton Holmquist, Providence
Ann Catherine Lee, Butler
