FRIDAY 3/26: HEARt Benefit at Jazzercise

The “Great Blizzard” in February forced the cancellation of an event to benefit children in Kenya, but it has been rescheduled for this week. Falls Church Jazzercise (513 West Broad Street at The Byron) is sponsoring a Design and Dine Celebration benefit from 5:30-8:00 p.m. on Friday, March 26.  The event will raise money for HEARt of the Village, an organization founded by a local audiologist, Dr. Tomi Thibodeaux Browne that provides ear and hearing care to HIV-positive children in Kenya.

The event will begin with African dancing, led by master instructor Nadine Alameh, followed by exhibits, crafts, and jewelry for purchase.  Attendees will have the opportunity to make jewelry from the handmade and painted beads that Dr. Browne has brought back from Kenya.  Light refreshments will be served, and a video of the work being done by HEARt of the Village will be played on continuous loop throughout the evening.

There will be no charge for admission to the Design and Dine Celebration, but a $15 minimum donation is requested.  See www.igetfitnow.com for more information about Falls Church Jazzercise.
