Wiggle for Wyatt Dance-A-Thon

Put on your dancing shoes and get ready to dance and wiggle the day away! DJ Alan from ATI Entertainment will be on hand spinning our favorite tunes and judging our "Wiggle Off" contest. We are trying to raise awareness and money for the Fanconi Anemia (FA) to show support for our friend Wyatt Klimkiewicz who has FA. Wyatt was diagnosed in August of 2007 with FA. FA claims the majority of its victims through bone marrow failure, cancer, and leukemia while they are still children or young adults. Wyatt was diagnosed at the age of three. He received a bone marrow transplant in October 2007 from his younger brother, Owen, who thankfully does not have FA and was a 100% match for Wyatt. Wyatt is currently doing well; however, it is likely that he will suffer from medical complications as he gets older. As of today there is no cure for Fanconi anemia.There will be prizes for all participants and light refreshments. Everyone one is welcome. We hope you can make it.
