Vote for West Shore's Pink Glove Dance Video and Help Win Thousands for Cancer Research

Help the West Shore Career-Tech students win $10,000 for breast cancer research! Vote for their Pink Glove Dance Contest video and help put them over the top!

Some West Shore Career-Technical District students are out to help fight breast cancer and are doing a little dance while they’re at it. And they need your help.

For the past two years, Medline Industries has sponsored a video dance contest to raise awareness for breast cancer and related research.  Schools, healthcare professionals, and other organizations from across the country participate by creating dance videos with dancers wearing pink gloves and then submit the video in their Pink Glove Dance Contest. The video that garners the most votes will have $10,000 donated in their name to the cancer charity of choice. Second place earns $5,000 and third place $2,000 to donate.

Teacher Dolores Martin and her students in West Shore’s Medical Office Management program saw this as a great opportunity to work together for a worthy cause and recruited students and staff from 10 other West Shore programs to participate in making a video.
