Hello everyone,
Thank you for choosing to participate in the first ever, 2012-2013 Houston area Dance
Marathon. My name is Jennifer Kay Tuggle Hinze, and I’m the Lt. Governor from Division 3S.
I’m a senior at Kempner High School in Sugar Land, TX. My one goal before I leave high
school is to make this Dance Marathon a reality. I hope to raise between $25,000- $30,000
through this event. You may ask, why? Well, I have actually been treated in a Children’s
Miracle Network hospital (TCH) for many years. Not only do I understand the difficulty of
being very sick, but I also have seen first-hand the impacts of this great organization. The
Dance Marathon is one night where we will gather together, dance our hearts out, and do it
all for the kids.
No matter how passionate I am and no matter how hard I work, I can’t do this without you
guys. I know that with y’alls help we can make this event a reality! You will not only change
the lives of the kids in our very own community, but it will also look great on your college
applications. You will gain leadership/ event planning skills, learn the importance of
networking, and be able to learn a lot about yourself. I can assure you, being a small part of
something so big is going to be one of the most thrilling, rewarding, and life-changing
experiences of your life.
By now, I hope you’re hooked and wondering how you can apply. I’ve tried to make the
application as easy as possible. One thing to note, ANYONE is welcome to apply. This is
open to officers, members, and even non-members-- anyone who wants to help the sick
children in our area. Applications can be scanned and emailed to [email protected]
or mailed to my address: 14219 Lake Trail Dr. Sugar Land, TX 77498. You may also email me
requesting the word document to fill out and email. All applications must be postmarked or
in my inbox by Saturday October 6th, at 11:00 PM.
Yours in loving service,
Jennifer Kay Tuggle Hinze
