CBT 2nd Annual Rescuethon WHEN: Saturday, May 4, 2013 TIME: Check in at 9:00am WHERE: Marine Park - Avenue U between East 33 & Stuart Street
This Rescue-thon is to help raise money for both the academy's scholarship program and the Sean Casey Animal Rescue center.
CBT's mission is to spread the love of dance in Brooklyn and beyond. A main component of this mission is to fund scholarships that benefit talented but under represented students.
Sean Casey is a rescue center that takes in unfortunate animals to give them a higher quality of life. The animals are cared for and/or rehabilitated until a forever home can be found. Like most rescue centers, Sean Casey needs money to stay true to their mission.
The Rescue-thon brings dancing and dogs together in a fun event for the whole family. Registration for the event is $25. The fee covers one (1) owner and a maximum of two (2) dogs. Walkers do not have to have a dog to participate.
All registration must be done prior to the event. REGISTRATIONS AND DONATIONS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED THE DAY OF THE EVENT.

Some dance enthusiasts may find it dull watching children at various levels of dance training, and some, like myself, will find it fascinating to witness the great potential of these young dancers..."

The lessons and skills Hayley has learned will be carried with her not only through school and dance but through life."- Cara Raptis, academy parent
