You can dance the afternoon away, and also support a good cause.
Former Coupeville High School baseball star Ben Etzell is back on the Island and is throwing a “Down 2 Boogie” event next Sunday, June 16.
The event runs from 2:30-5:30 at the Coupeville Rec Hall, and is free to the public.
It will also double as the kickoff to Lucas Etzell’s campaign for Mr. South Whidbey.
Lucas is Ben’s younger brother and one of four children in the family to graduate from Coupeville High School.
“I created the event in celebration of everyone’s unique abilities,” Ben Etzell said.
“Inspired by my brother Lucas, his experience with Down Syndrome, and the impact he’s had on others, my goal is to bring together communities for an afternoon of music, movement, and true connection.”
There will be a donation station at the event, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of Friends Medical Support Fund.
You can find out more about the group, which helps South Whidbey families pay medical bills, by popping over to http://fofmedicalsupportfund.org/.
Every dollar donated also counts as a vote for Lucas as he competes for Mr. South Whidbey, which awards its title in October.
