to People Who Need It
In June 2013, attorneys Matthew J. Kovschak and Debra J. Sutton participated in Ballroom for the Brain, the first-ever program of dance for people with dementia in Florida. The program was organized by USA Dance and the Central and North Florida Alzheimer's Association.
After such a positive experience, our attorneys began the development of Care to Dance, which launched in 2014. Care to Dance provides ballroom dancing to people with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other cognitive and physically disabling conditions. Over the years, Care to Dance has served more than 2,500 seniors in the Sunshine State.
If you know an elderly loved one who lives in the Lakeland, St. Petersburg, or Bartow region, invite them to the dance.
