Attendees are also encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy or gift that will be given locally to those in need for Christmas.
Cody Center Director, Angie Mckenzie notes, “At CCPA, service is at the heart of what we teach. We instill a sense of community and giving in our students through performances at local senior centers, collaborations with elementary schools, and dedicated fundraising for Cody Holiday Helpers. We are thrilled that our event has become Holiday Helpers’ biggest annual fundraiser, and we are immensely proud of our decade-long partnership dedicated to making Christmas brighter for families in our area.”
Taking Care of Christmas will feature CCPA dancers ages four and up, including CCPA’s Company Dance Team. Cody Center has also invited dancers from Hot Springs Dance Studio to participate in this lively event for the whole family. The show includes modern and classic holiday music as the backdrop for a variety of dance styles. The CHS Jazz Band will entertain the crowd as well during the show, while the United Methodist Bell Choir and CHS Synergy will greet audience members as they enter the performance venue. Tickets can be purchased on CCPA’s website or at the door. In addition, a depository for donated toys and gifts will be in the lobby of the auditorium.
Toys and items for donation can also be dropped off at CCPA a week prior to the performance.
