What A Great Event!!!

img_1948Thank you everyone who came out for our 2nd Annual “Get Down With Down Syndrome” Dance-a-Thon! We had another great event with lots of food, fun and, of course, some great dancing.

Thank you everyone. Thanks to Ravenswood United Church of Christ for being such a great host once again. Thanks also to our our DJ’s from Fig Media, the dance leaders from Dovetail Studios and Barba Yianni, Curate, Sweet Soirees, Skinny Pop, GoGo Squeez, and Mariano’s for the refreshments that kept our dancers going. And thanks to our sponsors T.Y.G.R., The Law Office of Timothy J. Deffet, Platform Consulting, Wickstrom Auto Group, Illinois Ford Dealers, and Foss Swim School, as well as our raffle donors — Chicago Children’s Theater, Begyle Brewing Company, DryHop Brewers, Lagunitas Brewing Company and Vertiport Chicago.
