Huntsville, a city known for its vibrant community and strong sense of togetherness, is gearing up for an event that promises to be both fun and impactful! The highly anticipated “Stars Dancing for HEALS” event is just around the corner, set to take place at the Von Braun Center on December 5th at 6:30 PM. This annual fundraiser is organized to help provide free health care to children in the Madison County area, making it a crucial event for many families in the community.
In the lead-up to this exciting evening, we’re getting to know some of the brave contestants who are taking on the challenge of dancing for a cause. This week, we’re spotlighting Dr. Jonathan White, a man of many talents and a true champion for the health of our children.
Dr. White is not just an internist at Huntsville Hospital; he also served as a medical director for an HIV project in Ethiopia, showcasing his commitment to health both locally and globally. His background in computer programming adds yet another layer to his diverse skill set. Despite all his accomplishments, Dr. White admits he was initially taken aback by the invitation to participate in this year’s event. “I don’t know how to dance and I really don’t like being the center of attention,” he shared, expressing the apprehension many can relate to when stepping out of their comfort zones.
However, Dr. White recognized the importance of the cause and chose to push his fears aside. It was after visiting various clinics affiliated with HEALS that he felt inspired to get involved. “There’s just a big gap in our community and HEALS really helps to bridge that gap with the way things are currently, and with the way they should be,” he reflected, emphasizing the crucial role HEALS plays in providing necessary services to children who might otherwise go without.
The mission of HEALS, Inc. is vital in our community. By providing access to health care services at no cost for children in Madison County, HEALS ensures that all kids receive vital care, regardless of their families’ financial situations. Dr. White’s participation in “Stars Dancing for HEALS” is a powerful testament to how community members can join forces for a better future for our youngsters.
As the date draws closer, excitement is spreading like wildfire! The evening will be filled with lively performances, and the audience will get the chance to cheer on Dr. White and other contestants as they take the stage and strut their stuff in support of such a significant cause. It is a time for the community to come together, celebrate talent, and raise necessary funds that will directly impact the health and well-being of our children.
Tickets for the event are still available, and it’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss. Come support Dr. White and the other stars as they dance their hearts out for health, happiness, and hope!
Join us for this memorable event on December 5th at 6:30 PM at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville. Let’s show our support for our community and ensure that every child has access to the health care they need!
