October 16th 6pm-?
Benefit for Staff Sergeant Cabacoy
On July 5th 2010 America lost one of her own in Kandahar, Afghanistan when a roadside bomb exploded near his vehicle. His name was Christopher Cabacoy. Not only a wonderful husband to Tami and father to Aiden; he was beloved by all that had the pleasure and honor of knowing him.

Help us to remember Staff Sergeant Christopher Cabacoy as we celebrate his life with a benefit show at Paradocks Greenbriar on October 16th at 6pm.

We are all calling all dancers and artists to come together and honor this fallen hero and to thank his family for his ultimate sacrifice.

Please contact Rachel with Hipnotic World Dance Center if you would be able to generously commit your time and art for this benefit. Paradocks is also offering 10% of all food and drink sales of anyone attending the benefit. 100% of the proceeds will go to Christopher's son, Aiden. It is a perfect excuse to have a night out with family and friends, enjoy a show with some of the most amazing dancers in Virginia and support a local hero!

We would love dancers of any style and there is no time limit on performances. For more information call or text Rachel at 757-681-6676.

In addition to performances we will have a dj and an open dance floor, plus a costume contest and more.

This show will not be for the faint of heart :)

If you are interested in performing, please contact me. Remember, anything goes...this one isn't for the kids, so don't be shy! Space is filling up fast, though...
