SARATOGA SPRINGS — Fred Astaire Dance Studios - Saratoga (FADS) is celebrating five years in business and will host a celebration 1 – 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 10.
The owners of FADS in Saratoga have a very close connection to Ukraine, as co-owner Sergiy “Grey” Masko, is Ukrainian and still has family there. The studio will be hosting a fundraiser to help support the people of Ukraine.
Attendees of the event are invited to bring supplies or a monetary donation that will be brought to St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church in Watervliet to send to Ukraine.
Additionally, those wishing to help– and dance! – may fill out a dance card for $10 per dance, up to five dances, in honor of the fifth anniversary. All proceeds will be given to the church to help with support.
The event is open to the public. Early donations are also welcome and may be brought to the studio at 3257 U.S. Route 9, Saratoga Springs.
Suggested items may include: first aid supplies, bedding, hygiene items, newborn and children necessities, microfiber towels, non-perishable food items, flashlights with batteries, backpack. A full list of supplies can be viewed at: www.cerkva.com/enigma-portfolio/aid-ukraine/.
