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, has been battling Alzheimer’s for 10 years. She is now 64 years old and in her final stages of this horrible disease.
We have connected with the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s to share our support to Miss Jess’s family 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. In 2015, the organization raised over $75 million.
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. Last year 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 acknowledgement of a cause that is so special to us at PDS. Please contact us if you need any further information
