Stars will be out when local celebrities, hometown heroes and concerned citizens gather to raise funds to help fight child abuse. "Dancing for a Cause" will be held on Friday, October 25 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe, Canonsburg.
The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. offering food, entertainment and dancing with all proceeds from the event going to Watchful Shepherd USA and its mission to prevent child abuse.
The main attraction for this event will be the dancing, which features celebrities teaming up with professional dance instructors from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio. “Dancing for a Cause” has the pizzazz of a floor show with the heart of a charity, necessary ingredients for a successful fundraiser. There will also be a special performance by “The Sparks”, Pittsburgh Power’s Professional Dance Team.
Food will be served from 6:30 - 7:45 p.m. with the dance competition from 8:00 -
11:00 p.m. Music and entertainment will be provided by DJ Jiving Johnny.
There is a need for silent auction and Chinese auction items. All donations are tax deductible. Individual tickets are $100 each and tickets at the door are $125.
All proceeds from “Dancing for a Cause” will benefit Watchful Shepherd, a non-profit child abuse prevention program. The Watchful Shepherd program provides families and child victims with wristbands that can activate an electronic device, which in turn activates a computer monitoring system at its National Response Center on a 24-hour-a-day basis.
Sponsorships and/or Tickets for “Dancing for a Cause” are available by calling 724-941-3339. For more information about the Watchful Shepherd program or to purchase tickets or sponsorships online, visit www.watchful.org.
