Review: Samantha’s Friends immerses us into the ‘Golden Age of Hollywood’

On September 14 and 15, 2024, the 29th annual “Samantha’s Friends” benefit fundraiser took place at Lakewood Ranch in Florida. The theme for this fall was “The Golden Age of Hollywood,” and several fans dressed up in clothing and outfits from that era. It was held at the Lakewood Ranch Golf & Country Club .

Mother Teresa once said: “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” This quote applies to the nonprofit organization “Samantha’s Friends,” which is helmed by Sammy and Alice Bozza.

The event featured such actors as Kristos Andrews (“The Bay”), Eric Martsolf (“Days of Our Lives”), Mike Manning (“The Bay” and “This Is Us”), Matthew Ashford (“Days of Our Lives”), Jordi Vilasuso (“The Young and The Restless”), Carson Boatman (“Days of Our Lives”), Erik Fellows (“Purgatory”), Kyle Lowder (“Days of Our Lives”), Dan Feuerriegel (“Days of Our Lives”), and “The Bay” showrunner Gregori J. Martin. Sammy Bozza remarked, “The 29th year of Samantha’s Friends was a resounding triumph, exceeding all previous events! We extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal supporters, our amazing celebrities who selflessly contribute their time and talents every year to this exceptional nonprofit charity.

” “The audience was captivated by the magnificent service canines, and the entertainment left a lasting impression,” Bozza added. Martsolf and Boatman are also part of The Day Players Band . .
