KICK-A-THON 2012

On September 28th, the Varsity Dance Team hosted its third annual Kick-a-Thon!  Since 2006, the squad has volunteered with the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County organizing dance clinics for K-8 students in after-school programs and summer camps.  For that reason, they chose to partner with the Club for a fun fall fundraiser.  

The dancers invited high school and community kickers to join them in a kick line at halftime of the Lake Forest vs Libertyville varsity football game  - their goal: to kick 100 times FOR KIDS. The team, and over one hundred other kickers, presented a $5,000 check to the Boys & Girls Club of Lake County during the halftime event. An additional $300 was collected the night of the event yielding a total donation of $5,300 for 2012.  

The Varsity Dance Team wishes to thank all of the partner kickers, community kickers and corporate sponsors for their generosity and support.  Special thanks to Mrs. Nelson--Kick-a-Thon Emcee, Ceslie Price, The Boys & Girls Club of Lake County, Executive Director and the many sponsors.
