The Breckinridge County High School Student Council invites students and members of the public to their DanceBlue Minimarathon, to be held in the BCHS gym from 3 to 7 p.m. Central on Saturday, April 19.
BCHS English teacher and student council sponsor Erin DeHaven says the event is inspired by the University of Kentucky’s DanceBlue Marathon.
“The money goes towards DanceBlue and pediatric oncology and hematology, so kids who are dealing with various types of blood cancers and other cancers,” DeHaven said.
The BCHS students have a personal connection to the fight against cancer.
“Ours is actually going to be dedicated to Braxton Criss and his family,” DeHaven said. “Braxton is a student who was a senior this year at our school, and unfortunately he lost his battle with cancer not too long ago, so we feel it’s appropriate for us to dance in honor of Braxton at ours.”
Students may purchase their tickets during lunch the week of the event. Tickets will be available for students and the public at the door.
“When you pay $20, you get a t-shirt and you get a little swag bag of different prizes,” DeHaven said. “You get access to food that we’ll have available throughout the night, and you’ll participate in as many of the hourly activities as you would like.”
Tickets to come and watch the dancing and support the cause are $15 at the door. Area businesses or organizations interested in sponsoring the event may contact DeHaven for more information.
