Art with a Heart


Art with a Heart
The Dance Club from Orem recently delivered more than $23,000 in donations from the latest “Art with Heart ...Kids who Dance So Others Can Walk,” the benefit concert for Shriners Hospital put on annually since 2002 by The Dance Club, The Winner School (from Salt Lake City) and Dance Impressions (from Bountiful).
Total earnings since 2002 are almost $230,000.
The children at Shriners Hospital (in Salt Lake City) come from a seven-state region as well as Mexico. Each one comes from varied circumstances and has unique needs, but the one thing that they have in common is the absolutely free medical care they receive from Shriners Hospital.
When they deliver the check, they also put the hearts sold up around the hospital.The team that earned the most from all three studios — The Dance Club’s Teen Company (more than $2,600) — got the privilege of delivering the hearts (with a little sister and Allison Thornton, co-owner of TDC and her daughter.
