NEW YORK: The Shimak Dance Team – USA will collaborate with Young Voice of NYC for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, to help raise funds for children battling cancer.
A spring talent competition will raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, according to a press release. The event – The 3rd Annual “Young Voice of NYC” Search for St Jude Ambassador Fundraiser – will be held at the Queens Theater in New York City on Saturday, April 4.
Senior instructor and Manager at Shiamak Davar International Deeba Patel will be on the panel of celebrity judges alongside Joya Dass, News Anchor at NY1 and CNN, Karen Hoyos, celebrity speaker and life coach, and Thara Natalie, a manager at Jay Sean and a certified yoga instructor.
At the event, participants will be invited on stage as part of the Shiamak brand Dance for Good endeavor.
“Dance for Good is an initiative where we dance to support a cause that we believe in. During my dancing days in India, I have taught at various non-profit institutes and truly understood the power of dance to heal. This is where Shiamak’s philosophy really steps in; to educate, entertain and empower through the performing arts. The team is very excited to be a part of this event and I’m looking forward to viewing all the talent,” said Patel, in a statement.
The winner of the talent competition will be the next Youth Ambassador for St. Jude and will receive additional prizes, including a dance scholarship for $1000 offered by Shiamak USA to learn at the dance academy.
St. Jude is one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.
