The Shimmy-a-thon concept was created in 2005 by Wendy Darsey to raise money and promote awareness for The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. She sought a way to contribute her time and talents to help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, a condition her younger sister endures. This unique and fun event brings a memorable experience and message through the appreciation and performance of bellydance, and helps The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fund vital research towards a cure. In addition to volunteering my time to offer dance classes during the Shimmyathon event, I will also be accepting donations through this website.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click the "Click to Donate" button on this page to make a donation that will be credited to my team. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!
