The Pap Corps, Champions for Cancer Research is proud to announce that Footloose & Cancer Free 2020 will be held at The Opal Grand Resort in Delray Beach on Sunday, March 22, 2020 at 1pm. Amateur dance couples from over a dozen different Pap Corps chapters will compete live at the event and will also be featured in online videos to raise funds from friends, family and cancer-fighters globally. The event will feature a 3-course luncheon with champagne toast, followed by open dancing after the competition. Tickets for the event are $75pp at www.thepapcorps.org, and online voting begins February 15.

“This event is a wonderful opportunity for people everywhere to support ground-breaking cancer research though a dazzling celebration of dance,” said Beverly Berkowitz, Vice Chair of The Pap Corps. “We are very proud that our theme is Support the Next Survivor as it truly encapsulates The Pap Corps’ mission.”

The funds from this event, and all The Pap Corps’ events, support research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center leading to new and better treatments for all types of cancers. Inspiring more people to donate to this worthy cause is the reason Footloose and Cancer Free was created. Each dance couple is featured in their own video, where they showcase a few signature dance moves while sharing their often poignant and very personal reasons for supporting cancer research. Voting is open to everyone, everywhere with a minimum of $5 per vote. During the event, an award will be presented to the best fundraising couple, in addition to honoring the best dance couple.

To prepare for dance competition, the amateur couples will be taking dance lessons at The Delray Ballroom to perfect routines to their favorite songs. All the couples will also be featured in a group dance lead by the ballroom’s owners, Kris and Amanda Whitney.

“We are so grateful to our dance couples who have volunteered to participate in this event,” said Linda Moses, Chair of The Pap Corps. “We are inspired by their dedication and their stories, and we look forward to having people visiting our website to learn about our wonderful members and vote, vote, vote!”

Special thanks to the event’s sponsors including The Delray Ballroom and media sponsor Boca Magazine, Legends Radio and The New Pelican newspaper.
