The Greater Providence YMCA Dancing Under the Stars is stepping back into the spotlight for season two.
The special gala starting at 5:30 p.m. on June 20 at Warwick’s Crowne Plaza, pairs nine community professionals with an expert dance partner from Fred Astaire Dance Studios.
Proceeds will go directly towards the purchase of a Functional Electronic Stimulation (FES) Bike to improve the cardiovascular health in patients with neurological injuries. Individual tickets are $80 and a sponsorship that includes a full table is $750.
Spotlight dancer for the event is Tori Andreozzi who at the age of 12 was struck by a drunk driver while walking home from school. Suffering a traumatic brain injury, Tori survived the impact but has lived in a state of minimum consciousness and paralysis ever since. In honor of her daughter, Cathy Andreozzi began the Tori Lynn Andreozzi Foundation, a non-profit organization that seeks to educate young people on good decision making, including the perils of drinking and driving. Today, Tori benefits from weekly FES bike therapy session. More information including tickets and voting is available at Ydancing.org
