As many of you know, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is very near and dear to our hearts here at Prestige Dance Studio. Miss Jess’s mother, Duanne, battled Alzheimer’s for 10 years before passing away this past February. Duanne was extremely loved by her family and A HUGE supporter of Miss Jess and her dance career.
We have connected with the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s to show our support to Miss Jess’s family, honor the memory of her incredible mother, and to give back to our community. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the world largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s care, support and research. The event is held in over 600 locations across the country, including Cedar Rapids.
Each year, Prestige Dance Studio organizes a team called “Dancers for Dude.” Together as a studio, we raise money for the cause and participate in the walk. Along with enjoying the event, we are looking forward to special performances by our Company and Community teams. For the past several years, Dancers for Dude was the largest team in Eastern Iowa.
We hope you will help us in achieving that again this year and appreciate your continued support and acknowledgment of a cause that is so special to us at PDS. Please contact us if you need any further information. It is free to join our team and we would love to have you join us!
