Cali Lindy Hoppers unite for 24 Hour Cancer Dance-a-Thon

Posted on February 6, 2009 by

I love hearing about lindy hoppers using their skills to help a worthy cause.  I got news that a 24 Hour Cancer Dance-a-thon, is happening from March 5-9 in Orange County, California:

The Dance-a-thon is a 24 hour swing dance in Orange County, CA. Its mission is to raise funds for cancer research and treatment at City of Hope Hospital. All of the participants, board members, bands, teachers, dj's, and performers are unpaid volunteers. The event is very much like a walk-a-thon. Instead of walking, however, participants raise money by swing dancing! Whether or not a participant has danced to swing music before is not important. For 24 hours, each participant will BECOME A SWING DANCER. Lessons are held throughout the day to ensure that every participant has the opportunity to have fun and get involved!

Sounds like an amazing event for a great cause. Dance-a-thon takes place between 10 a.m. on Saturday March 14th and 10 a.m. on Sunday March 15th, 2009. Last year they raised $175,000!
