The Dirty Dancing Festival Beneficiary:
In 2013, the Dirty Dancing Festival became an official event of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), raising proceeds each year throughout the weekend to give back towards the fight of finding a cure. A percentage of all ticket sales, as well as onsite fundraising efforts, are donated to help find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer. The festival's dedication to this cause remains a standing tribute to the film’s late star, Patrick Swayze, who passed away from the disease in 2009.

To learn more, make a donation, and ways to get involved, visit www.pancan.org

Get Involved at the Dirty Dancing Festival and raise awareness of Pancreatic Cancer!
