Fegley Middle School YMCA ROCK “Neon Dance” for Charity

The Portage Township YMCA ROCK program educates youth in a fun environment about the dangers of legal and illegal street drugs, while providing life & leadership skills, snacks, recreation activities, and homework help. The Portage Township is currently holding this 9 week cohort at Fegley Middle School for 6th graders. The FMS ROCK students will be planning a “Neon Dance” inviting all middle school students from FMS & WMS to dance the night away with us from 6:30-8:30pm at the Portage Township YMCA. We will have a DJ to play music, glow sticks and concessions for sale, including pop.

The “Neon Dance” for Charity will be held on Friday, February 25, 2011. Cost for the dance is $3 per student. All proceeds from this event will benefit Alice’s House in Valparaiso, a halfway house for women recovering from alcohol and drug addiction.

As a leading nonprofit, the Portage Township YMCA strengthens communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The Y is available to all, regardless of age, income or background.
