Many of you have heard about Ashton Belanksy, a 2-year-old boy who was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Ashton's mom, Jen Ruest, is a dance instructor who has had such a positive impact on so many dance and theater performers in our community.

Lamoille Valley Dance Academy, the place Jen teaches dance at, together with Firefly Productions and Spruce Peak Arts, has created a special fundraising night that brings together the best of dance and music in our community. Performances will include: John Fusco, High Summer, Seth Yacovone, Adriana Chobot & Friends, Cooie DeFrancesco & Friends, Lamoille Valley Dance Academy, TRIP, Ballet Wolcott, Unity Dance Complex, Lines of Vermont, and more.

Their goal is to raise as much money as possible for Ashton's parents, Jen and Brandon, to help them with the avalanche of expenses dealing with this medical crisis, as well as the lost wages from needing to reduce work hours. If we come together to make this a sell-out event, $18,000 will be raised to help Ashton and his family. All monies raised will go directly to Ashton's parents.

Please join this fun community event that is going to be filled with great dance, music, food, and company, while all going to a wonderful cause!
