This March the Cult of the Eye will be swing dancing for 24 hours straight at a charity event called the 24 Hour Cancer Dance-a-thon. It's a 24 hour swing dance that takes place the second weekend in March in Orange County, California.

All profits from the event go directly to cancer research and treatment at The City of Hope Hospital ( http://www.cityofhope.org ). We invite you to participate with us or to make a donation on our behalf to this worthy cause!

To Donate simply click on one of the participant links on this page. That will bring you to the participant's donation page where you will find an online donation box at the bottom. There is also information regarding the address for sending a check. All of our members are volunteering for this and all funds go directly to the event.

About the event:
The 24 Hour Cancer Dance-A-Thon is an annual swing dance event that raises funds for cancer research and treatment at The City of Hope. Its inaugural event in November 2005 succeeded in raising over $52,000 - an amazing figure for a first year fundraiser. Last year swing dancers raised over $100,000 to fight cancer! Participants in the Dance-a-thon form teams of 15 to 29 people. Throughout the 24 hour period of the event, each team is responsible for keeping at least one of its members on the floor and dancing at all times. Participants like us are responsible for raising funds for the event. The event features a variety of live swing bands, free dance lessons from world class swing dance instructors, performances, and social swing dancing!

Help out as much as you can, but a donation of at least $50 gets you entrance into the event as a spectator. Come enjoy the live bands and dance performances, participate in the dance lessons, and help save lives!
