The Dirty Dancing Festival is a non profit fundraising event managed and executed by a team of volunteers to raise awareness, support, and resources for PANCAN and the Chamber of Hickory Nut Gorge.
Games, races and raffles will be held onsite by volunteers of PANCAN. 

The Dirty Dancing Festival is a proud supporter of The Swayze Foundation!
The Swayze Foundation has been established  to help  kids and special adults who have been caught   in the middle with little or no funds or outlets for their pursuits in dance, sports, the arts, equestrian and animal therapies.
Carrying on the family tradition of “giving and volunteering” Don and Charlene Swayze have set up The Swayze Foundation to continue the legacy of helping others, just as Don & Patrick's parents did.
  It's the Swayze Way!                
You too can volunteer by giving to the Swayze Foundation. Just go to www.Swayze.co to make a donation or purchase items from the Swayze Store. 100% of the sale proceeds will go to The Swayze Foundation to gift scholarships and programs for children as well as adults in need! Through your generous actions, you will help give scholarships to those kids and special adults who cannot afford it. You too can become a part of The Swayze Legacy today!
