Think Pink....Dancing for a Good Cause

On January 25th a roomful of enthusiastic pink clad women (and one man!) gathered to dance and sweat for an important cause.

Aren't Pam & Pina pretty in pink?

Classes were team taught (that's me having fun OFF the stage for a change!) and high energy!

Some were veteran customers, and others were brand new. But everyone managed to stay on the right (or was it the left?) foot.

The event was the idea of Peggy Devlin whose sister is battling stage 4 breast cancer. Anyone who knows Peg, knows that she sure can throw a party!

Beth was the co-organizer....and volunteered her home (and her husband and kids) for the event.

Here she is getting in one last routine before she had to head out early to get things ready for the party. I'm pretty sure she took off the pink boa before hitting the kitchen, but you never know!

Amy recruited her husband Jay to come for the fun and he managed to keep up with the ladies (but notice, no boa for Jay!)

Lots of hours were spent in preparation making fabulous gift baskets to raffle at the event and raise more money.

Later we enjoyed delicious food, killer desserts and an endless supply of pink cocktails at Beth's home.

There was plenty of laughter too!

Beth's husband, Larry was our attentive bartender. YES, real men DO drink pink drinks!

Wow... we hardly recognized some of our buddies --- this bunch cleans up well don't they!

Christine Sinclair treated the group to a song...singing I Am Blessed from her latest CD.

And such a fitting song it was....as many of our Jazzercise extended family are blessed to be breast cancer survivors.....including my mother Arlene, Beth's mother, and to those who are winning the battle such as Annette and Tina.

Survivors were recognized with roses and those who have lost the battle were recognized on the beautiful angel wings on the bulletin board at our Center.


Over $5000 was raised that evening and will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to continue the search for a CURE.

Thank you and God Bless to everyone who made this evening a success!
