Rescuethon Walk to Benefit Sean Casey and Ballet Students!

Covenant Ballet Theatre is having a rescuethon walk on May 5th in Marine Park to benefit Sean Casey Animal Rescue and their scholarship program. Here are more details...


Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn (CBT) invites dogs and their owners of New York City to sign up for the dance academy’s first rescuethon event on Saturday, May 5th, 2012. During hard economic times, arts programs are usually the first to be eliminated from funding. Animals are also often to be the first to be neglected and discarded. The rescuethon is to help raise money for both the academy’s scholarship program and the Sean Casey Rescue center. Artistic Director Marla Hirokawa became involved with Sean Casey when she was looking to adopt another dog. She immediately liked the center and wanted to help them out. Through the rescuethon, she is bringing her two loves – dogs and dancing – together and helping them out. The rescuethon will be a walk-a-thon for both humans and dogs. Registration for the event is $25. The fee covers one (1) owner and a maximum of two (2) dogs. Walkers do not have to have a dog in order to walk in the event. All who sign up will receive a “doggie goodie bag”.

Registration must be done at CBTBRescueathon.EventBrite.com prior to the event. Check-in is at 9 am near the Marine Park Avenue U parking lot. There will be at least three viewing stations along the path for spectators and supporters to watch and cheer.

After the event, members of CBT’s Junior Company will perform company repertory. There will also be raffles sold for a “Pet Portrait” (estimated value $300-$350). The portrait will be a one-of-a-kind creation of the winner’s dog by artist Carla Brandberg.

Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit contemporary ballet company and dance academy dedicated to providing an excellent local alternative for professional standard performances and dance instructions. The company seeks to foster an intelligent appreciation of dance as an art form and to offer educational and cultural experience to the younger generations. Quality performances, professional instruction and educational programs, Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn’s activities are designed to reflect Christian and wholesome family values and ethics in the arts.

The purpose of the Sean Casey Animal Rescue is to aid unfortunate animals in the interest of a higher quality of life. Sean Casey takes in rescued, confiscated, neglected, injured, ill, unmanageable, or otherwise unwanted animals from private owners, zoos, shelters, and other public organizations. These animals are cared for, and/or rehabilitated to the best of our ability and means until which time they can be found healthy, happy homes - whether it be through adoption to qualified candidates or legally released into habitats suitable to the specific species in conjunction with licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
