Announcing a New Program for Dance Schools to Help Build Awareness for Breast Cancer
Fairfield,CT (PRWEB) September 18, 2014 -- 5.6.7.8 Gone is a unique program for Dance Studios to participate in. The goal is to help educate children and teachers and to help raise funds for breast cancer research. The program will not only encourage awareness of self examination for young people but it will also build a community of supporters through the different options available for participants. This program provides a great way for the dance community to be involved in a wonderful cause through education while at the same time helping to raise funds for breast cancer research. The program is open to dance schools all over the world.
“The key to this program is that it is not just about raising funds but that it will also help children to understand the importance of self examination and awareness.” Says foundation president Angela D’Valda Sirico
There are several ways to become involved in the programs ranging from buying shorts, video taping choreographed dance routines, taking pictures or creating a unique event at the individual participating studios.
