Description
To build a community of like-minded professionals who want to make a difference in Orange County
All proceeds from this event will benefit The Wooden Floor (http://www.thewoodenfloor.org). Since its inception in 1983, The Wooden Floor has touched over 75,000 lives. The Wooden Floor annually gives 375 under-served local youth at its Santa Ana campus the tools to live fuller, healthier lives through a unique approach grounded in dance. It makes a long-term investment in each of these young people, and they engage in intensive dance education supported by academic and family services that change the way they make decisions, helping them to discover and pursue their full potential. Since 2005, 100 percent of its seniors have graduated from high school on time and gone on to pursue higher education—a rate about three times the national average for their socioeconomic peers.
