Thank you SO much to everyone who came out and danced last night! We were able to raise $940 for The University of Iowa Dance Marathon! 100% of the proceeds will go towards their support of children diagnosed with cancer and their families.

A message from Jessica: I wanted to personally thank everyone who came out to support last night and donated. Thank you for not only supporting this wonderful organization but also helping me towards my fundraising goal for running the Chicago marathon in October while representing the UI Dance Marathon. I am immensely grateful!

If you were unable to attend but would still like to donate, you can absolutely do so via Venmo. You may send any desired donations directly to the Swing-ConnectHTX Venmo. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

We can't wait to see everyone tonight! If you're unable to join us but would still like to donate, you can use the Swing-ConnectHTX Venmo to donate online. Please just include something about it being for donation in the memo.

Looking forward to lots of dancing tonight for a great cause!

Houston, we are SO excited to be back dancing with you this Saturday!

This is going to be such a special social! Reminder that this weekend's social will be a fundraiser for an amazing charity called University of Iowa Dance Marathon. One of our founders, Jessica, has been given the honor of running the Chicago Marathon in October with this special organization. They are a student led organization that provides year-round support to youth cancer patients and their families. Their Big Event is a 24-hour Dance Marathon where students assemble to celebrate the children survivors and remember the children who have passed away throughout the year. All the proceeds from this weekend's social will go directly to supporting this amazing cause (no entry fee, just whatever you would like to donate).

If you'd like to learn more, check out UI Dance Marathon's website: https://dancemarathon.uiowa.edu/

And something FUN! The first 26 people to donate $50 or more will receive a commemorative mile sponsor bracelet! And anyone who donates $20 or more can add any song they long to Jessica's marathon playlist!

We hope to see you on the dance floor this weekend!

The SwingConnect team is excited to be back for a very special pop up event! Come get some practice in ahead of H-Town Throw Down while supporting an amazing cause!

One of our founders, Jessica Miller, has been selected to run the Chicago Marathon representing a very special organization. 100% of the social's proceeds will go directly to support The University of Iowa Dance Marathon. This student led organization creates and sustains special projects to provide emotional and financial support and services for pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant patients and their families. In addition to support throughout the year, they also host their "Big Event" - a 24-hour dance marathon that celebrates the kiddos who beat cancer, support those that are still battling, and remember those who have passed away.

There will be no set entrance fee! We just ask that you please consider donating. Any amount helps!
