Dance-a-thon latest fundraising effort to support Lucia and Violet

There have been basketball games, T-shirts, bake sales, parades and more, but the latest way to support two Sevastopol students fighting cancer involves your dancing shoes.

The Sevastopol National Honor Society is partnering with Hype Dance Studio to host a dance-a-thon inside the high school gym this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Participants are collecting pledges to raise money to support the families of Lucia Ramirez and Violet Tanck.

Sevastopol third grader Violet Tanck was recently diagnosed with a rare form of Ewing sarcoma. She has already had a kidney and some lymph nodes removed and has months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments ahead at Children’s Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Lucia Ramirez, also a third grader, was in second grade when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After her diagnosis was changed from standard to high risk, she has gone through months of intense chemotherapy, steroids, lumbar punctures and bone marrow tests, while also suffering from infections and low immune counts.

You can find more details about the dance-a-thon and how you can support the Sevastopol National Honor Society’s efforts below.
