I am a certified Zumba instructor and I LOVE to dance. I have hosted these events since 2012 in honor of my late aunt,Julia Jones, who passed from breast cancer. My aunt always encouraged me to follow my passion of dance and she was the first to tell me to "dance as if no one is watching". Therefore these Dance Fitness Pink Party Events in honor of breast cancer awareness began. In order to make this event FANTASTIC (as it has proved itself to be year after year), sponsorships and donations (monetary and/or goods/raffles/giveaways) for host space, DJ, healthy snacks giveaways/raffle items, breast health/health care information, volunteers for setup/breakdown, and/or volunteer speakers/table set up help this event thrive. Moreover, a highly anticipated component of this event is that each year we have had the honor to celebrate in true “New Orleans style”in our PINK Second Line to remember our pink angels, encourage our pink warriors, and inspire in pink! As a community wellness event, the event is FREE to the public, with 75% of any proceeds donated benefitting current Pink Warriors (those who are currently undergoing breast cancer treatment that we identify before and at the event) through blessing bags and a matching donation to Breast Cancer Research Grants, since I am a scientific researcher myself and I know first hand how funding into research propels results for the greater good! The other 25% of proceeds strictly cover costs associated with putting on the event.
