Event Spotlights

Emily Fogelsonger Team TT This picture is of just a few members of Team TT at the PJ Party with Alyssa Greene, the girl we stand for. This is Alyssa's first year in Dance Marathon and she's having the time of her life and loves the chance to be around all the older girls. Quite possibly the best moment of the day was when one of the CPT members brought Alyssa in while her mom was parking and found me. As soon as Alyssa saw me a HUGE smile broke out on her face and she ran up to me and gave me a huge hug. That hug and smile basically made my day and reminded me exactly why I'm doing this.

Rachel Frank Team E Teams E and F had a GREAT time at Charity Ball this year with the Zigulis family! Bradley is a great dancer and knew more of the words to the songs played than I did! He was especially knowledgeable about Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" and Michael Jackson's "Beat It" We went to Pizza House for dinner beforehand which was so delicious and a great bonding experience!
	Hilary Dreher Team A Team A has been lucky enough to be paired with the Klocek family this year! We've had so much fun getting to know Benjamin and his family and can't wait to see what the rest of the year in Dance Marathon has in store. This is a picture of Ben and Team A at Pumpkin Carving where we made a scarecrow, went on a scavenger hunt, and played tag!

Team Spotlights

Robyn Paul Team QQ Team QQ went bowling with the Marshall family in November. This was the first time we met Barry and Elisa, and we chose bowling because Elisa like to roll the ball down the lane and hear the pins get knocked down at the end. We all had a great time and are looking forward to spending more time together at the upcoming Dance Marathon events! Left, (captain) Katie Baughman and (Dancer) Charlotte Rath helping Elisa Marshall throw the ball down the lane.

Deanna Hart Team N This year, Team N has had the joy of being paired with Janice Kanclerz, and her wonderful son, Jonah! Jonah loves Dance Marathon, and always looks forward to our special events, and especially hanging out with the guys. We are so lucky to have them as our family, and love to spend time together! This is a picture of Jonah, with some of Team N at the captain's house. Jonah wanted to see the movie UP, so we had them over for a movie night with Pizza and snacks!
	Lauren Palmer Team S Team S (the Skittles) loves be paired with the Rice family. For Johnathan's birthday we planned a birthday lunch for him with his parents. His mom said he loved Mongolian BBQ so we decided to meet at the BD's in Ann Arbor. Our team and their family met and we all had a ton of fun!! It was great to spend quality time together and get to know one another.
Jennifer Brady Team AA We went bowling with our family before Christmas break and Allison had so much fun. We can't wait to go again!
