Youth Emergency Services’ Dance for a Chance Fundraiser Set for October 7
Youth Emergency Services (YES, www.yesomaha.org) is proud to announce its 12th Annual Dance for a Chance fundraiser is set for Thursday, October 7, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Omaha Design Center. This year’s event – The Roaring Twenty-Twenties – features a mix of community and business leaders who will raise money leading up to the night of the event and then compete against one another for two coveted Mirror Ball trophies – one for best dance performance (decided by judges) and one for most funds (votes) raised.
Similar to Dancing with the Stars, Dance for a Chance pairs up dancers with instructors, who then work together to create a dance, pick accompanying music, and practice over the summer before competing in October. At the same time, the dancers are working within their personal and professional networks – largely via social media – to raise awareness and money for YES.
Sponsorships (including the virtual broadcast) remain available, and they are accepting donations for a silent auction. Please contact YES Director of Development Barb Farho at bfarho@yesomaha.org to learn more about being a sponsor or making a donation.
