What A Great Event!!!

Thank 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.

And, of course, we would be nothing without our great dancers. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us, and these teams who each raised more than $300 for our 2nd Annual Dance-a-Thon: Emma and Kelsi BFFs by Birth, Team OMG, Happy Feet, Sammy’s Buddies, GiGi’s-A-Go-Go, Boogie-ing Colin Baar, Isabelle Ketchum, Team Victoria, Without Dance, what’s the Point?, Team Mueller, and Lucy Walsh.

All told, we raised just over $34,000, with the proceeds going to fund our operations, programs and outreach efforts.
