Dance Marathon 2015

Posted Feb. 18, 2016 at 8:37 p.m.

This is an annual event put on by The Act Office at Appalachian State University. The proceeds go to Western Youth Network and Parent to Parent, two local organizations in the High Country.

About Parent to Parent Family Support Network-High Country

Parent to Parent Family Support Network-High Country (FSN-HC) provides free support, caring connections, information and hope to families who have a premature baby, a child with a disability, an emotional or behavioral challenge, a mental illness or a chronic health condition, and to families who are grieving the death of a child. The program serves seven counties in Western North Carolina: Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey. Parent to Parent FSN-HC provides information and tools to help families see the possibilities for their children and turn that potential into reality.
