 SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Mennonite Friendship Communities will host a special fundraiser on Saturday. The virtual event will benefit residents at Mennonite Friendship Communities.

The polka duo Molly B and Ted Lange will perform on their YouTube page - youtube.com/MollieB<https://www.youtube.com/mollieb>. During the 7:30 p.m. live broadcast, Mollie B will encourage her followers to contribute to the Continuing Care Endowment Fund at MFC. This endowment helps to offset costs for nursing home residents who have outlived their financial resources.

Mollie B and her band the SqueezeBox was featured on the movie "The Mule," starring Clint Eastwood, who is a fan of the band. Also, on an episode of The Voice on Monday night, Blake Shelton asked a contestant if she was familiar with Mollie B. Gwen Stefani chimed in that she enjoys the band.

Mollie B is also the youngest inductee ever of the International Polka Association Hall of Fame.
