Oldies dance to raise money for Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers
RX Plus Pharmacy is sponsoring an Oldies Dance to benefit Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers of Fayette Inc. on Saturday, April 14 from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Ivory Ballroom, second floor, 62 W. Peter St., Uniontown. The dance features the Brass Knuckles Band, hors d’oeuvres catered by local restaurants, dancing, door prices and a Chinese auction.
Members of the Caring Hands Committee, which does fundraising for Interfaith, recently announced the dance at the Ivory Ballroom.
According to a brochure for the dance, “Last year, 900 individuals received services from Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers of Fayette Inc. (IVCF). Over 18 percent of the residents living in the Uniontown area are age 65 and older and the need for home support is vital. IVFC is an organization dedicated to helping older residents remain in their own homes with dignity and independence by volunteers providing home-supportive services.”
The committee includes Carol Ashton, executive director of Interfaith, Denise DelGreco, Liz Dunham and Tim Chesler. Rich Miller of Brass Knuckles is an honorary member of the committee.
Funds raised from the Oldies Dance will help Interfaith as Ashton said, “Everybody struggles when you’re a small non-profit.’ She said the number of care receivers Interfaith helps continues to grow.
“Our goal,’ she said, “is to maintain them in their homes.’
Dunham, who said the Laurel Highlands High School cheerleaders are also offering help, reported an invitational mailing list will be sent. Anyone who wants to be included, or for more information, call 724-437-4741, ext. 1125.
Tickets for the Oldies Dance are available at The Esquire Barber Shop, Laurel Highlands High School and First Federal Savings Bank, 545 W. Main St., Uniontown.
Tables of 10 can be reserved. Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers of Fayette Inc. is a partner with United Way of South Fayette and United Way of Westmoreland County.
