CardioSole presents "Turn up 4 Hope" 2025, part 3, the Turn Up is Real is a soul line dance party fundraiser to promote suicide awareness and prevention. This year featuring DJ. Rhondi Hackett aka the "Da Professor" of Excellence from Greensboro, SC.
Our story and mission:
We created this event in honor of our loved one Dajon Snead who took his life in 2017 at the age of 13. We've always wanted to do something in honor of Dajon and to do our part to help prevent any other family from having to experience such a devastating tragedy. Suicide is a growing epidemic in our community, and we need to promote awareness to help prevent suicide and save lives. Hope is a key factor in suicide prevention. Many of us have been in a state of hopelessness and dance (particularly line dance) has certainly helped uplift us from a dark place. My personal testimony and so many others can attest to how line dance and dancing in general is life saving outlet in so many ways. CardioSole's mission among other things is to introduce both youth and seniors to line dance to enjoy the many life changing benefits of dance. As such Turn Up 4 Hope embodies our mission to introduce our community to dance, spread awareness and ultimately help to increase suicide prevention. Further Turn Up 4 HOPE promotes and highlights that tomorrow is worth living for and there is HOPE to go on. So we're going to Turn all the way up as we celebrate life through dance and increase awareness and ultimately work to increase prevention of suicide!
Goal:
Last year we raised $5k from Turn up 4 HOPE for the Out of the Darkness Walk sponsored by AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide prevention) in honor of "Team Dajon". Our goal this year remains the same, so your support is needed and appreciated.
The walk this year is on October 18, 2025 and proceeds from the party, t-shirts and all activities will go to the walk to meet our goal. You are welcome and encouraged to give additional donation directly to our team to help us reach the goal. With rising cost, we don't want to reduce the experience so your help is needed. Especially if you are unable to attend the event, please consider giving something to our team. You can either use the link below or send it to me directly with your name and I will add your name as a donor to the list. If you are interested in walking with us in October please comment below and I will share the information with you. We would love to have you. Last year we had over 40 friends and family join us in the walk.
