October 2 Gainesville Florida Argentine Tango for the CURE Fundraiser Dance

TANGO for the CURE fundraiser event (Oct 2) is approaching fast. We are working very hard so that we all can have a fun night and raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and Cure. We are looking forward to your support. In case you are wondering how you can help? Here are some ideas:

- Save the date, commit participating, put it on your calendar, RSVP on facebook. This not only is a good way to publicize the event, but also helps us with the planning.

- INVITE all your friends (on and off facebook, students and adults, dancers and others), help us publicize the event and distribute posters/flyers.

- Volunteer to HOST out of town guests on Saturday night. We already have commitments from a good number of dancers from all over Florida (as far as Miami) and hoping to attract more. We are also working on the idea of hosting a free After-Party Milonga so that we can continue dancing past mid-night. Good hospitality and long hours of dancing time should make the trip worth for out of town
dancers.

- Be a VOLUNTEER for this event. There is a lot of work to be done before and during the event such as (design/print/distribute flyers and t-shirts, contacting local news and media, contacting local business or organizations that could match the raised funds and sponsor the event, contact other dance groups to see if they would like to collaborate and/or perform at this event, contact other pink ribbon groups to seek collaboration, making catering arrangements, sound system arrangements, setting up the room, decorations, collecting donations, etc., etc., etc.) We have already had a good amount of experience at the Tango4Haiti fundraiser.
It is quite challenging (but of course rewarding) to accomplish all these with a task force of two-three people. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
