Area leaders dance the night away in support of programming in
downtown WPB neighborhood
Boca Raton, FL – The West Palm Beach Police Athletic League (PAL) is excited to announce the 3rd Annual Ballroom Blitz. The event takes place from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m. on Friday, April 5, 2019 at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, and brings together area leaders and community members for a night of dinner, dancing, cocktails, and tons of fun in support of the programming the nonprofit brings to the downtown West Palm Beach area.
Ballroom Blitz, a Dancing With the Stars style event, features one amateur and one professional dancer each showcasing a different style of dance. Dancers will be competing for the top prize (and bragging rights) of the highly coveted mirror ball trophy. Competitors have practiced for several weeks leading up to the competition 2-3 times a week. The 2019 “Blitzers” include: Jeannine Rizzo, Adelfye Cedeno, Hank Polidori, Sal Senzatimore, Jake Rothman, Jillian Idle and Davidde Giordano. Winners of the event will be crowned the STARS of 2019.
Funds raised from this event support PAL’s Teen Club, an afterschool youth leadership program with doors open 6 days a week, hosting art class, leadership programs, educational field trips and teen talks with community leaders. Located in a community with a negative story line, PAL is working to change that storyline by providing a safe place to teach the youth that they can create the change. The nonprofit is committed to enhancing the self-confidence, social, physical, and emotional needs of children through athletics, education, life skills, and mentoring. Using these tools, juvenile crime and violence is being reduced and achieving their goal of filling playgrounds — not prisons.
Registration and sponsorships for this event are now open. Individual tickets are $150 per person; table cost is $1,500 and a VIP table is $3,500. Current sponsors include: Related and Fred Astaire Dance Studio.
