The thirteenth annual Dancesport for Charities ballroom dance competition will take place on December 4th, 2010, at Rameses Shrine Banquet Centre in Toronto. The proceeds this year will go to the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada.

This event showcases the talent of ballroom dancers ranging in age 6 to 50 plus. The event starts at 10:30 AM with the children dancing during the day, and adults dancing in the evening. The couples will compete in 10 difference dances, Rumba, Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Paso Doble, Jive, Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz. A silent auction will also be part of the fund raising, with merchandise and services donated from the business community, and manufacturers of dance supplies from around the world.

This is the twelfth time this event has been held. Starting in 1998 Jade Trophies and Dance Plus, two businesses serving the ballroom dance community, have held a charity competition, picking a different charity each year. Raising a total of $139,173 for the first 12 years.

Previous Recipients of the fund raising event have been the Heart & Stroke Foundation, which received $8,000, the Kidney Foundation, which received $21,500 (2 years), the Lions Foundation of Canada which received $23,900 (2years), the Shriners Childrens' Hospital which received over $10,000, and $25,400 was raised for Retts Syndrome, a disease that affects little girls including the daughter of well-known dance champions Jean-Marc Genereux and France Mousseau. In 2003 we had our most successful year, raising $22,500 for Willow, Breast Cancer Support Services. Last year we raised $9,500 for the Breast Cancer Foundation of Canada.

This years Jade Trophies continues this event and the funds raised will be used to support the Children's Wish Foundation.

Please join us, as we enjoy the best of competitive ballroom dancing, and an exciting silent auction, as we raise funds for this worthy cause. We hope to raise even more this year - with the help of the general public and the wonderful ballroom dancers of Ontario and Quebec.
