The Beauty Foundation Friends (BFFs) RAISE THE ROOF 2nd annual Dance Marathon Party, bringing together more than 200 teens from New Jersey and Staten Island, NY whose mission is to raise money and support for kids and teens who are fighting cancer.
In just two years, the BFFs raised more than $60,000 and have been nationally recognized in the Wall Street Journal, Fox TV and the National Enquirer for its acts of kindness.
Proceeds from the BFF’s Dance Marathon’s are used to fulfill a wish list of items for kids at local hospitals that included several new lap tops and XBox 360 game systems along with the latest games. Additionally, the BBFs sponsored a “Prom” at Robert Wood for all of the children going through treatment. They also held a successful dress drive for the young adults who couldn’t afford to buy them. Proceeds from Dance Marathon will also be allocated to fund initiatives like Prom 2012 and the holiday adopt-a-family program.
And finally, more than $50,000 has been given directly to the families facing hardship due to their child’s illness. Families in need will receive direct financial support for paying critical bills such as rent, utilities and prescriptions.
Please check back often for updates on how YOU can be involved in Dance Marathon 2012. Help us once again to “Raise the Roof”.
