The 2020 Dance has been cancelled, but 56 families still need help.

Below is the announcement from Nancy and Jerry Hollenkamp:

At this time when the news is dominated by Corona virus, we wanted to reach out and let you know that your health and safety are top priority to the Aubrey Rose Foundation.  While we are extremely disappointed to cancel our largest fundraiser, “Let’s Dance For the Heart of It”, we know that this is the most responsible decision. “Let’s Dance For the Heart of It” has been a part of the Foundation since 2001.  Yes, this would have been our 20th year. While we will miss seeing your faces this year, with Hope and Faith for tomorrow, we know we will be seeing you next year! (Save the date - Saturday, November 6, 2021.)

The Foundation has been forced to cancel all of our fundraising events this year except for our Golf Outing.  As you well know these fundraisers are critical to our mission, helping families who have children with life-threatening medical conditions.  Right now, we have 56 families in need of support with medical bills over $1.5 million dollars!  The world may have stopped during Corona virus but the needs of the families that need your support did not.  We are so very grateful for your support in the past and we are hoping we can count on you again this year. 

As you know, to purchase a table at “Let’s Dance For The Heart of It” is $1,500 and a single ticket for the event is $125.00. Our Silent Auction has always been a great success, however with businesses being closed or just lack of business, the donations just did not come in this year.  We hope we can count on your support this year to help our families by purchasing as if you were attending the event.  Never has your contribution been so desperately needed, and never before has the dollars you give had the potential to make such an enormous impact.

Truly, you will be a blessing to our children in need and to the Aubrey Rose Foundation.  Please stay healthy and know our prayers are with you and your families.

 We have faith that our Aubrey Rose Foundation supporters will come through for our 56 families in need!

Sincerely,

Nancy and Jerry Hollenkamp
