Youth Emergency Services (www.yesomaha.org) is set to host its annual fundraising event, Dance for a Chance, on Friday, July 31st at the Omar Bakery Events Center, 4383 Nicholas Street in Omaha. For the event, Youth Emergency Services (YES) recruits local “celebrities” and partners them with a professional instructor to perform a short routine in front of a panel of judges and a crowd of YES supporters for their chance at the mirror ball trophy. In addition to dancing, the evening includes food, drinks, a silent auction, and raffle. Mobile bidding will also be available, allowing guests to bid on auction items, purchase raffle tickets, and vote for dancers on your smartphone.
