Deana Martin
Deana Martin is an accomplished actress and entertainer who has achieved success in all facets of the entertainment industry. Ms. Martin made her television debut on her father's legendary series "The Dean Martin Show." Ms. Martin's desire to continue her father's lifelong tradition of support for various children's charitable causes brings her with us this evening as our host for the third consecutive year.
Tony Orlando
From million selling records (five number one hits), a popular television variety series, movies and Broadway, Tony Orlando has conquered every facet of show business. His #1 smash Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree has grown into an American anthem of hope and homecoming, reunion and renewal. Tony is one of MDA's the most dedicated supporters having guested on the MDA Labor Day Telethon for 25 years, 9 of those as the New York host. It is a tremendous honor to have him perform for us this evening.
Rachel Haik
Rachel Haik is an eighth grader at Central High School and is part of the Springfield Scholars Program. She has appeared in 18 stage productions, 17 being at the Landers Theatre and 1 at the Gillioz Theatre. Rachel can next be seen performing this holiday season in "A Christmas Snow" at The Starlite Theatre in Branson. Rachel plans to become a professional actress.
