While the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Wellington Dufferin is asking Guelph residents to kick up their heels at an elegant fundraising evening, guests will also get a chance to enjoy the talents of a Canadian Latin Dance champion.
Sharone Levit, winner of Professional Latin and Professional Smooth at Montreal Extravaganza 2009, will be taking to the dance floor on Saturday Feb. 6 at the foundation’s Gala Royale. The evening is raising funds in support of the placement of life-saving automated external (AEDs) in priority locations throughout the community.
The Gala Royale is at Guelph Place. Tickets are $100, with all proceeds going to the purchase of AEDs
“We think having Sharone on board will be a real draw for guests,” said area manager Gina Sweet.
Levit and Julia Zavadska, will perform a Latin number and an international standard number.
In addition to the dinner and dance, a silent auction will be held. Prizes include dance lessons with Levit, framed prints from Ken Danby Studio, Mary Dawn Roberts, and Guelph Framing and Art Centre; a photo session from Trina Koster Photography; $500 worth of services from Mason Renovations; a pair of tickets for Cirque du Soleil, and more.
Tickets are currently on sale and more information about the event can be found at www.galaroyale.ca or by calling (519- 837-4858.
