FRONT ROYAL — An evening of dance and live “big band” music for the Shenandoah Valley community will be held Saturday, Feb. 21, from 7–9 p.m. at Chelsea Academy in Front Royal.
The Yesterday Swing Orchestra, based in Front Royal, is hosting the event in coordination with local Knights of Columbus councils as a fundraiser for KOVAR, a nonprofit charity that supports Virginians with intellectual disabilities.
The event will feature live big band swing music, a free beginner dance lesson, and a welcoming community atmosphere. Organizers say proceeds will benefit local Special Olympians through KOVAR.
Special honored guests will include local area Special Olympians. Attendees are encouraged to meet them, dance with them, and celebrate together.
According to the press release, all proceeds generated by the event will be directed entirely to KOVAR. KOVAR is a Knights of Columbus 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to supporting organizations that improve access to affordable housing, job training, sports participation, and personal care for Virginians with intellectual disabilities.
Admission is a free-will donation (recommended donation: $20). Donations can be made at the door or online at:
