Lincoln Health Foundation invites the community to join local dancers, special guests, and supporters for “Lincoln Health Foundation Presents: Dancing for a Cause!” on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, at 6 p.m. at Lincoln Central Academy.
The community fundraising event will bring local stars to the dance floor for an evening of dancing, competition, entertainment, and giving back.
“Dancing for a Cause is meant to be a fun night for our community, but there’s a much bigger purpose behind every dance,” said Danielle Hart, executive director of Lincoln Health Foundation. “Our dancers have stepped up to raise funds for local healthcare, and now we’re inviting Lincoln County to come out, cheer them on, and be part of an evening that gives back.”
Proceeds will support Lincoln Health Foundation’s mission to enhance healthcare in Lincoln County. Funds raised will stay local, helping provide equipment, technology, and programs that enhance patient care throughout HH Lincoln Health.
Community stars, some joined by local studio dance partners, will perform a variety of dance styles and compete for awards:
• Jenelle Huffman
• Just for Clicks Cloggers
• Karissa Krishnan and Shannon Doherty
• Megan Spurlock
• Nicki Painter
• Peige Morgan
The evening will feature special musical guests Mark and Laura Clark and special guest dancers Lance and Emersyn Stephens. Nonprofit organization Always Endure will provide an on-stage presentation of support for the special guest dancers.
Featured performance breaks throughout the show will showcase dancers from D-Force Dance Company and Backstage Performing Arts. Both studios are also providing choreography for four community star performances. James Jordan Photography is providing event promotional and day-of photography, and Mickey Johnson, board president of Carriage House Players, will serve as a guest judge. Robins & Morton is a Shining Sponsor, alongside many other local businesses and community members supporting the event and its dancers.
Tickets are $10 and are available in advance through the community stars and also at Carter’s Drug Store and Southeast Electric and Plumbing in Fayetteville. Tickets will also be available at the door. Event T-shirts and snacks will be available for purchase during the evening.
“Lincoln Health Foundation Presents: Dancing for a Cause!” begins at 6 p.m., Oct. 1, 2026, at Lincoln Central Academy, 909 Main Ave. S., Fayetteville with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. For event information, visit https://hhlincolnhealth.org/community/foundation/
