The UWMBDA council invites you to a fun-filled night of dancing on May 2nd in support of The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. All proceeds and donations from the dance will support the "Great Strides" Walk of the CFF. Do you have friends who haven't danced with UWMBDA yet? Are you enrolled in a ballroom class this semester? Invite them to the Cha-Cha lesson at 7pm followed by the general dance of latin, swing, ballroom, and nightclub music. We also invite you to walk with friends of UWMBDA and "Team Carla" at the Great Strides fundraising event on Sunday, May 18th at the Vilas Park & Zoo at 9:00 am.

For those of you who have not had the good fortune to meet Carla Weffenstette, get to know Carla! Carla regularly lights up the dance floor at UWMBDA social dances and performs with the UW Dancesport Team. Every year, she organizes "Team Carla" to walk for all friends who have CF, all the little kids who fight CF, and generally everyone who has to battle cystic fibrosis. She is indeed the Queen Conquerer of CF!

We salute Carla's efforts and invite everyone to attend the dance on Friday, May 2nd from which proceeds will be donated to Team Carla. We also welcome donations at the dance or you can make an online donation at Carla's webpage link above from now until the May 18th event.

Carla's personal goal is $2000, but as you can see at the end of her webpage, the team goal is $5,000. So the team appreciates any donations you can provide beyond Carla's personal goal. We also welcome you to walk with Team Carla by clicking the "Join My Team" link on her webpage to join the team, set your own fundraising goal, and invite friends to support your efforts. We hope to dance with you on Friday, May 2nd and walk with you at Great Strides on Sunday, May 18th!
