Sandy Hegeman and Hailey Kennedy are BAK Middle School of the Arts students that have been diagnosed with leukemia. Sandy Hegeman is a theater major and also a dancer at Southern Dance Theatre. She was diagnosed last year with leukemia and thought she was on the road to recovery when six months into her recovery she had a relapse. They have now found a bone marrow donor for her and she will be en route for her transplant between April 30th and May 5th. Hailey Kennedy was diagnosed on January 24th, on the 25th she was on her way to St. Jude’s Children’s hospital still undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
“A Night of Hope” is a benefit at the Crest Theatre Delray Beach Center for the Arts at Old School Square to raise money for the two girls and 20% of the proceeds will be given to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for research. The tickets will be $20, if you would like to make an additional donation to either or both girls you can write a check to The Dancer’s Alchemy, and put their name in the memo of the check. 100% of the proceeds will be given to them.
