SAVE THE DATE: Youth Emergency Services Dance for a Chance October 17, 2024
Youth Emergency Services (YES) is thrilled to announce our annual Dance for a Chance fundraiser, “50 Years of YES,” is happening October 17, 2024, at The Astro in La Vista! This annual fundraiser sees dynamic members of the Omaha community paired with dance instructors to compete through carefully crafted dance routines—much like the hit reality series “Dancing with the Stars.” Meanwhile, these community members raise awareness and funds for YES among their personal and professional networks.
The 2024 Dance for a Chance dancer lineup includes the following community leaders:
Angel Carl, Angel Carl Marketing / YES Board of Trustees
Elie Dancour, NeuroInterventional Concepts
Arnold Gantuangco, Lindsay Corporation / Tropical Salsa Nights – Omaha
John Jensen, Union Pacific Railroad / YES Board of Directors
Taylor Johnson, WOWT
Ralph Kellogg, Lutheran Family Services
Susan Koenig, Koenig | Dunne
Jackie Lane, Omaha Children’s Museum
Nancy Williams, Block 27 Consulting, LLC
2024 marks Youth Emergency Services’ 50th anniversary, inspiring the fundraiser’s theme “50 Years of YES.” Dancers and instructors will incorporate music, dance moves and costumes into their performances from one of six historical decades—1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. We invite attendees to dress up in their favorite trends from the past!
Doors to the event will open at 6:00 PM, followed by the first dance of the evening at 7:00 PM. Attendees will enjoy an evening of well-choreographed competition, tasty treats, a silent auction and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people in need.
The Dance for a Chance event raises funds to benefit YES’ programming for local youth experiencing instability, crisis and homelessness.
