Sunday, February 10th, 2019 - DancEd. Dancers & Philly Baer Reaching Out
Our sincere gratitude to owners Tracy & Scott Reynolds and the DancEd. company dancers at DancEd., Northbrook, IL, for all their time and effort. With resolve, the DanceEd family committed themselves to fundraising on behalf of The Philly Baer Foundation.
Tracy and Scott combined education, empathy, kindness and dance to empower the dancers to take the opportunity to influence and change the lives of children in need of therapeutic services. Their determination and activism powered extraordinary generosity from the DancEd. community. DancEd. proved what Emily Dickinson said, "Trust in the unexpected". Their advocacy for children with special needs will always be treasured by the children they impacted through The Philly Baer Foundation.
