A Shared Commitment to Hope and Support
These proclamations aren’t just formal acknowledgments, they represent real community support for local breast cancer patients. They highlight the dedication of our volunteers, the generosity of our donors, and the trust placed in us by local leaders and residents.
At Dance for the Cure, we’re focused on helping people facing the financial challenges of breast cancer. The money raised goes to patients in need, and every initiative—whether it’s Tie the Town Pink or the Pink Bow Project—helps bring attention to this cause.
We’re grateful to every township and official who recognized our work this year. Their support helps us to keep making a meaningful difference in the lives of local families.
