Hugs that Empower presents:

A fundraiser to ensure that money is never a barrier for people with mobility challenges who want to leave their wheelchair, walker or cane behind and get movin’ with the TangoStride™ Program! Join us for a dressy afternoon affair with hors d'oeuvres, hosted beer & wine bar, live tango music, silent auction – and an experience you won’t soon forget! Celebrate with our TangoStride™ students, families/caregivers and volunteers and learn how your contribution will impact people’s lives, right here in the Puget Sound, and beyond.

With the help of our partners and fueled by our generous community, Hugs that Empower 501c3 nonprofit provides a life-changing opportunity for people with disabilities due to stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or neurological conditions such as M.S. and Parkinson's to improve balance, strength, and overall walking ability through our dance-based TangoStride™ Classes. Gabriela Condrea's TangoStride™ Technique (formerly NeuroTango) has been featured in The Seattle Times, Chicago Tribune, Q13 FOX, UW Medicine News, KING 5, Kiro 7 & CBS.
