Jenkintown Dance Arts will host their third annual Fight & Fright, a Halloween-themed cancer fundraiser, on Sunday, October 27 from 2:30pm – 4:30pm at the Abington Art Center.  

The event coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month and will include dance performances, face painting, games, a costume contest, a Halloween dance party, a haunted house and more. 

All proceeds are donated to the national nonprofit Unite for HER. The event raised $2,000 in 2023.

A note from Miss Stephanie, an instructor with Jenkintown Dance Arts:

October is here and with it comes breast cancer awareness month. For the past few years Miss Chrissie and I have organized JDA’s Fight & Fright, a fundraiser to benefit local non-profit organization Unite for HER (UFH). UFH provides free goods and services to individuals affected by breast and ovarian cancers. I first learned about UFH in March of 2022 when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shortly after diagnosis, my medical team helped me obtain UFH membership status and what followed next was unbelievable. Gift cards, health & beauty items, fresh fruits & veggies, massages, nutritional support, and the list goes on and on…all for FREE. No cost to me whatsoever. Very helpful during a time when medical bills were starting to pile up! I’ve been eager to give back to this organization every year.
