The Lip Sync Battle event was organized by Pam Bibeault Marchetti, president of elder care consulting company Triad Health Care LLC in Providence, who had a personal battle with breast cancer, prompting her desire to give back to the community.
Led by Grace Barker administrators Mark and Mary Beth Lescault, the winning team donned Havana-style costumes to lip sync the song by the 1970s pop star.
