Let’s Dance!
a night of dancing and celebration to support enrichment programs for people with intellectual disabilities
November 11, 2023
6:30 – 10 p.m.
Let’s Dance is much like “Dancing with the Stars,” only in this case the stars are people served by Pathlight, a Springfield-based organization that serves more than 1000 children, teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and those with autism throughout western Massachusetts.
Pathlight stars are paired with someone from the community and the team works with a volunteer dance instructor to learn a 1.5-minute dance routine they perform the night of the event. At Pathlight we believe that the people we serve are the directors of their own dreams and goals, and they are front and center in all we do. This event brings to life the person-focused mission of Pathlight. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun!
Join us for evening of inclusion, joyous entertainment, scrumptious food and a cash bar.
