Redman Hall was hopping Friday night, during a Jingle Bell Sock Hop benefit for Traci Medeiros' sister, Deb Debski.

For six years, Debski has been fighting an autoimmune disease called Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). This disease affects the bile ducts and ultimately leads to liver failure. Medeiros, who runs The Gallery Consignment Shoppe on Main Street, organized the sock hop to benefit the Northeast Liver Transplant Fund for her sister.

"I hung the records," Medeiros said, as she pointed to vintage vinyl hanging from the ceiling. Guests, who donned their best poodle skirts and leather jackets, were treated to an array of party foods, raffle items, and 50s music.

"The community in Wareham is more than willing to help one of their own," Medeiros said. "People come into my shop and grab a green ribbon for my sister."

Green ribbons are worn for liver transplant awareness, an operation Debski needs to live.

Debski has volunteered much of her time to the North Shore community. From charitable events to designing costumes for Beverly high school musicals, Debski has given it all a touch of her own personality.

"I tell people that my mother is the major of Beverly," her daughter Jessica Debski joked. "We were in Italy and she ran into people she knew there!"

Though they are still waiting for a living donor, Jessica and Traci remain optimistic.

"We are sure she will get a match," Jessica Debski said. "She's tired. It's been progressing, lately, and it's frustrating."

Money raised from Friday's event will be used to defray post surgery costs, especially the expensive anti-rejection drugs Debski will have to take the rest of her life.

Through it all, Jessica Debski said her mother has remained strong and found a silver lining.

"My mother has seen this as an opportunity to become an advocate for organ donating," Debski said proudly. "She's always helped others and in turn we are fighting to keep her around for a long time."
