It may be cold outside, but the temperature will be just right for dancing on Saturday, February 17, when Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital Foundation (jehfoundation.org) holds its cardiovascular fundraiser – Dance to the Beat! This event is held at the MidAmerica Center in Council Bluffs and is a dance and concert to raise funds for cardiovascular patients at Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital. Event proceeds will help ease patients’ financial burdens so they can focus on improving their health.

Local band Taxi Driver will be performing and tickets are only $40, which includes music, dancing and light appetizers. There will be a cash bar, amazing raffle prizes and a silent auction. Doors open at 7 p.m.

February is heart month, and what better way to engage the community while raising funds for the leading cause of death in the United States?
