JOIN US MAY 16: Charity Dance Workshop

Please join us on Thursday, May 16 for a fun and uplifting hip hop dance workshop to raise funds for Next Door, a local charity that supports women and children affected by domestic violence.

Thursday, May 16
7:30pm - 9:00pm
GRX Ministry Center
2346 Walsh Avenue, Santa Clara, CA
Fee: Whatever you can give
ALL ARE WELCOME




All levels and dance abilities are welcome! The workshop is totally free, but we'd love for you to give a donation to Next Door. If you can't attend the workshop, please still consider donating online here. 100% of the proceeds will used to provide basic necessities and comforts of home to women and children at Next Door.



WHY:
Nearly three out of four Americans personally know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence. That's just way too many. Recently, this issue touched our Eight Count family, and we felt this was an opportunity for us to raise awareness and give back. 

We've set a goal to raise $1000 for the women and children at Next Door. Women fleeing abuse in the middle of the night are often forced to leave all of their possessions behind. Our fundraising goal of $1000 will provide some of the basic necessities and comforts of home that families seek. Furthermore, it will show them that we, as a community, care about their struggles and applaud their bravery.
