CRESTVIEW — Fred Astaire Dance Studio of Crestview will host the 6th Annual Dance for Life, an evening of ballroom dance to benefit Covenant Care, on Saturday, April 16.
The event — 7 p.m. in Crestview High School’s auditorium — will feature amateur and professional dancers from across the Emerald Coast.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $50 for VIP admission, which will include reserved seating for the show and a post-event cocktail party. Tickets are on sale at Fred Astaire Dance Studio, 544 Main St. in Crestview, or by phone at 682-1455.
“Dancing is truly a celebration of life, and Covenant Care is all about quality of life, helping patients and their families make the most of every moment,” David Colon, owner of the local Fred Astaire Dance Studio, said. “It is such a worthy cause and a rewarding partnership for both organizations to come together for Dance for Life.”
Covenant Care is a not-for-profit organization that provides comprehensive, compassionate services to patients and loved ones.
Events such as Dance for Life help fund Covenant Care’s under-funded and non-reimbursed hospice programs in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. These programs include charity care, as no one is turned away due to the inability to pay; grief support; children’s support services; and spiritual support services.
Covenant Alzheimer’s programs include support groups, respite care and Project Lifesaver, a GPS device worn by patients prone to wander.
