A Letter from the Founder & Chairperson
My dream was fulfilled when I organized The Virginia Dance Festival 19 years ago by gathering dance organizations throughout Virginia to showcase their unique dance styles and talents. Since this event began, it has generated over $208,500 for Children’s Hospital Foundation through performances, ticket sales, generous sponsors and silent auction donations.
We are so pleased this event has grown to represent a wide range of dance styles and different cultures. The event not only is very entertaining, but also offers an educational opportunity for guests as they learn more about different cultural dances. The performances will consist of Irish, Latin, Ballroom, Irish, Swing, Musical Theater, Chinese and much more. More than 43 pre-professional dance organizations will be performing in this year’s Virginia Dance Festival. For more than 90 years, Children’s Hospital Foundation has been dedicated to funding and advocating for pediatric initiatives that improve the status of health care and the quality of life for children in our region. The Foundation provides support for the programs and initiatives of Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) and the children it serves each year. Children’s Hospital Foundation depends on the support of individuals, businesses and other organizations to help it continue its mission of supporting excellence in health care for children.
