Students at Fred Astaire Dance Studios Menomonee Falls Dance for Toys!!!!
On Friday, November 7th, more than 100 people donated toys to Toys for Tots at Fred Astaire Dance Studios Menomonee Falls’ 1st annual Jingle Ball Holiday Show. Amateurs and Professionals from the local dance studio performed an array of dances to their favorite holiday classics. Students learned new routines to their favorite holiday songs, and performed for their families and friends. The admission to the event was a toy donation to Toys for Tots.
"Our holiday show for Toys for Tots was such a great success. We donated more than 150 toys to the organization," said Fred Astaire Dance Studios director Angie Kriz. "We wanted to have a fun, holiday show for our students’ families and friends, and had no idea we could raise so many toys." Sgt Anthony Mauro, the Milwaukee area Toys for Tots coordinator, collected the toys at the event, and thanked the audience and staff of Fred Astaire Dance Studios Menomonee Falls for their generosity. He told the crowd that many children will benefit this holiday season from their thoughtfulness.
"We are so proud of all of students who performed in the show and we are so grateful to all who donated so generously," said Kriz. "It is a great thought that we had a fun night, our amateurs and professional performed so well, and we had the opportunity to help such a great organization."
Fred Astaire Dance Studios Menomonee Falls located at N89 W16823 Appleton Ave, will continue to be a drop off site for Toys for Tots though December.
