Look no further than the inspiring example set by Keith and Deb Perry, who are igniting the dance floor with their Diabetes Dance Party in commemoration of their 45th Anniversary on April 21st!\u202f?? Following their granddaughter’s diagnosis with T1D, Keith and Deb were compelled to take action. It dawned on them to leverage their anniversary celebration as a means to make a meaningful impact through fundraising! Keith and Deb warmly extend an invitation to you and your loved ones to join them at their dance party, scheduled from 5:00-7:00 pm at the Embassy Suites in Bloomington April 21st. Their party will feature a performance by professional dancers, a dance contest for the kiddos in the crowd, a silent auction and more!\u202f?
