g FOR CHARITY
$3,000+ Raised at Long Beach Father/Daughter Valentine's Dance
MORE THAN 72 couples attended the third annual Father/Daughter Valentine's Dance hosted by Justin Rudd and his nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (C.A.T.). The dance took place Sun., Feb. 10 from 5-7 p.m. at the expansive, carpeted community hall of Bay Shore Church on The Toledo in Belmont Shore. Rudd says more than $3,000 was raised from ticket sales for C.A.T.
IT WAS a special, area-wide, semi-formal evening for fathers and daughters of all ages. The evening was complete with Valentine decorations, old-fashioned refreshments, wholesome music, girls in dresses, dads in ties, fathers giving corsages, and daughters learning how a gentleman treats a lady -- all to benefit great programs in our area.
ATTENDEES enjoyed party classics provided by DJ DanaT, who donated her time and talent for the fundraiser. Music included dance hits like "Livin La Vida Loca", "Hokey Pokey", and "Conga", as well as tunes by Mylie Cyrus and other pre-teen and teen musical sensations.
COUPLES enjoyed home-baked goodies from moms, and other delights provided by C.A.T. Couples also enjoyed complimentary prom-styled photos by Justin Rudd and Jane Lovett that were printed and available to be taken home after the event.
PRIZES were awarded to winners of various dance contests throughout the night for dads and daughters. Those winners were Spencer & Jefferson Lopez, Dennis & Kennedy Schaffer, and Scott & Nicole Finn.
FATHERS AND GRANDFATHERS have an opportunity to take their daughters or granddaughters out for dancing to party classics. There is no age requirement, so young and old are able to enjoy the evening. Girls may also be accompanied by their uncle, guardian or an adult relative.
MOMS WERE invited to spectate in the back of the room at the dance for the last 1/2 hour.
C.A.T.'S upcoming events include the 30-Minute Beach Cleanup this Sat., Feb. 16, 10 a.m. at 1 Granada Ave.; an All-Day Read of "Grayson" on 2nd St. on Mar. 1; the $1,000 National Elem. School Spelling Bee on Mar. 9; and a 3,000 prize-filled-eggs on-the-beach egg hunt and beach cleanup for older kids, teens and adults on Mar. 10.
