Throw your mittens around your kittens and away we go…..
They may not have Vince Fontaine but the Hospice Promise Foundation, in conjunction with Christus Hospice St. Frances Cabrini, will be crowning the liveliest dancers King and Queen of the Senior Disco held at the Ball Senior Center this Saturday from 7-9 PM!
Theresa Bledsoe, Volunteer Manager, explains the significance. “So many patients and their families in hospice encounter hardships during an already difficult time. Our organization helps with things like bills and medical equipment.”
Your admission gives you a ticket to an evening of food and dancing while also making a difference in the lives of these families. All proceeds benefit the Hospice Promise Foundation, created in 2013. Knowing someone cares when dealing with the isolation of hospice care is invaluable.
And you get to have fun to boot! Open to anyone aged 50 and up, you can come casual or dress in 70’s or 80’s garb. Stand as they honor all veterans in attendance as the VIPs that they are. Dance the night away in your boogie shoes!
The Ball Senior Center is located at 100 Municipal Lane, Ball. To purchase tickets or donate to the Hospice Promise Foundation, call Theresa at 318-266-8656 (office) or 318-792-0706.
