Charity Dance Workshop - Thursday, 6/13/2013

Workshop info:

• Location: GrX Ministry Center, 2346 Walsh Ave, Santa Clara, CA

Why:

Nearly three out of four Americans personally know someone who has been a victim of domestic violence.  That's just way too many.  Women fleeing abuse in the middle of the night are often forced to leave all of their possessions behind.  We've set a goal to raise $1000 for the women and children at Next Door.  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.
