"Dancing For the Health of It" is Health For All's version of the popular TV show, "Dancing With the Stars," featuring local celebrities and community leaders who dance with their instructors to compete for the coveted mirror ball trophy, bragging rights and to raise funds for the clinic. This year's dance is Saturday, April 30 at 6 p.m. at the Hilton College Station & Conference Center.
More than 200 people are expected to attend this year's dinner and dance competition.
According to the nonprofit's website, "Health For All is a nonprofit free health care clinic that was founded in 1987. Virtually all of the clinic’s funding comes from local donors who live and/or do business in the Brazos Valley, and no state or federal funding is received. We provide free doctor visits, pharmaceuticals, specialist exams, lab tests, X-rays, chronic disease management education and counseling services to low income patients in the Brazos Valley who do not have health insurance and do not qualify for government programs such as Medicaid, Medicare or County Indigent funds. Health for All provides over 4,000 patient visits each year. We are able to deliver services at a very low cost thanks to a small staff and a large number of volunteers and community partners. By providing an alternative to expensive emergency room visits by the uninsured, Health For All saves Brazos Valley hospitals and taxpayers millions of dollars each year."
For this fundraising event, totally Rad 80’s attire is preferred, so crimp your hair and pull it up in a side ponytail, spray those bangs, and stack those bangle bracelets. Converse, shades, scrunchies, and Vans were the coolest, dude! It's time to dust off those leg warmers, tease up your hair, and dress to impress in your retro best or wear cocktail attire to this blast from the past!
Tickets start at $75. Visit hlth4all.org/dancing-for-the-health-of-it/dfthoi-2020 for more information.
