I know times are tough right now with the economy and so many life changes happening all at once, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to be generous with the resources God has blessed us with. Anything you could donate (time, money, talent, etc.) would be greatly appreciated and welcome.
This March, my team and I will be swing dancing for 24 hours straight at a charity event called the 24 Hour Cancer Dance-a-thon. It's a 24 hour swing dance that takes place the second weekend in March at 24 Hour Fitness Ultra Sport in Irvine, California. All profits from the event go directly to cancer research and treatment at
The City of Hope Hospital . I invite you to participate with me or to make a donation on my behalf to this worthy cause!
Please visit my
Dance-A-Thon participant page to make a donation.
I am trying to raise $1,000.00. I have currently raised $0.00
My Dance-A-Thon team's name is SD Hops-4-Hope. Together, we are trying to raise $10,000.00. We have currently raised $50.00
Your donation is 100% tax deductible. All of the bands, teachers, dj's, performers, participants, board members, and venue are volunteers. Amazing!
About the event:
The 24 Hour Cancer Dance-A-Thon is an annual swing dance event that raises funds for cancer research and treatment at The City of Hope. Its inaugural event in November 2005 succeeded in raising over $52,000 - an amazing figure for a first year fundraiser. Last year swing dancers raised over $175,000 to fight cancer! Participants in the Dance-a-thon form teams of 15 to 29 people. Throughout the 24 hour period of the event, each team is responsible for keeping at least one of its members on the floor and dancing at all times. Participants like me are responsible for raising funds for the event. The event features a variety of live swing bands, free dance lessons from world class swing dance instructors, performances, and social swing dancing!
Help out as much as you can, but a donation of at least $50 gets you entrance into the event as a spectator. Come enjoy the live bands and dance performances, participate in the dance lessons, and help save lives!
