The Country Dance-a-Thon is a two-stepping and line dancing marathon that took place Saturday, August 17 at Jane Warner Plaza in the heart of San Francisco's Castro district. Participants danced for three hours to support two nonprofit organizations:
• PRC was formed by the merger of Positive Resource Center, AIDS Emergency Fund, and Baker Places to provide integrated legal, social, and health services for over 5,000 clients per year, helping those affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues realize their best selves by providing the support and services they need to reclaim their lives. Services include emergency financial assistance for short-term security; legal representation for access to basic income and healthcare benefits; and residential treatment, supportive housing, and employment training for longer-term social rehabilitation.
• The Sundance Association for Country-Western Dancing is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of country-western dancing for the LGBT community and its friends. As an all-volunteer and community-supported nonprofit organization, the Sundance Association fosters individual growth and passion, encourages volunteerism and philanthropic giving, and strives to create an inclusive and welcoming community. The Sundance Association is proud to have helped raise over $430,000 for other worthy nonprofit organizations over the past twenty-one years.

About The Country Dance-A-Thon
The Country Dance-a-Thon began in 2007 as a joint project of the Sundance Association and the Bare Chest Calendar. Now in its 12th year, the Country Dance-a-Thon has raised thousands of dollars for the beneficiaries of the Bare Chest Calendar: AIDS Emergency Fund and Positive Resource Center, now merged into one organization, the PRC; and the Sundance Association.
The Country Dance-a-Thon is a grass-roots all-volunteer project with low overhead expenses. We anticipate our administrative expenses to remain close to 6% again this year, allowing for unavoidable credit card and web hosting fees. This means that 94% of money raised through this event goes directly to the designated nonprofit organizations which are each in turn known for their low administrative expenses.
The Sundance Association is an all-volunteer community-based nonprofit organization providing country-western dance instruction and events in San Francisco for the LGBT community since 1998. Over past 21 years the Sundance Association has raised over $430,000 for other nonprofit organizations.
The Bare Chest Calendar has been raising funds since 1985, supporting the AIDS Emergency Fund and the Positive Resource Center, now merged into one organization, PRC. The men of the Bare Chest Calendar work hard during their reign, and many go on to leadership positions in the community.
