DANCE FOR A DIFFERENCE


Dance for a Difference (D4D) is a non-profit organization that was started in the summer of 2006 by a group of four friends to positively impact the local community. Funds are raised through teaching dance classes in Arlington, VA. The classes are held on a bi-weekly basis and have ranged from hip-hop to Irish dancing. All dance instructors are volunteers. Proceeds are donated to the Arlington Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless. Established in 1987, AACH is a non-profit organization that "provides transitional housing and support services to homeless families and women in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria in Virginia". There are 4 main programs that the AACH runs including the Sullivan House, Adopt-a-Family, LifeWorks, and SKIT.

RCLCO Foundation funds will be used to support the Adopt-a-Family program, which helps low-income families become more self-sufficient by providing permanent housing, intensive training, and better-than-minimum-wage jobs.
