Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies. I can dance the whole day. When I got married and had a baby, it’s rare for me to engage in dancing activities.
When my friend Bernice invited me to join a dance marathon, I did not hesitate to say YES. This is my chance again to be involve again in a dance activity and guess what? I finished the marathon. Yey.. Iba ang sense of fulfilment pag natapos ang marathon and how I wished that there will be another dance marathon and this time sana I'm one of the organizer (wishful thinking).
Months passed by, our church is in the process of creating a
foundation and thinking of fund raising activities. Dance Marathon is the first
activity that came up to my mind. Why not? Arnel and I suggested the activity to the
CARE Foundation president, Dr. Jesse Caguioa. At first I was hesitant but I thought I have to take a chance because I know this will be a great activity that all ages can participate. Finally, Dr. Jesse accepted our suggestion and viola, Dance Marathon is the first activity of the CARE Foundation.
The preparation for the iSayaw Dance Marathon took one and half month, starting from the
sponsorship, purchase of materials, planning the layout of the venue, registration
and nitty gritty things. As the event
date get nearer, all of us in the fund raising committee are very nervous but
we are always encourage by our faith in God. All things are possible to Him!
Indeed it is possible. Last November 30, 2013, the iSayaw
Dance Marathon by CARE Foundation happened at the covered court of the Meriam
College, Quezon City. There were around 300 participants and their feedback was really good. In short, the first run of the marathon was successful.
In behalf of the CARE Foundation, we would like to thank all our sponsors
and the participants who supported the event.

Rest assured that the proceeds of the event will go to the medical, dental,
feeding and other mission for the children and those who are in need.
By the way, since the participants are requesting for another dance marathon, there will be another marathon next year. The organizers are now planning to make the next event much better and more freebies will be given to the participants.
This event will not be possible if not for God's guidance. For more information and if you want to see the other photos of the marathon, you may visit: https://www.facebook.com/carefoundationph.
