Dance party to support Tara Lessard
Tabu will host a fundraising dance party for longtime community photographer Tara Lessard.
Lessard recently was diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer, after undergoing chemo and three surgeries. She is currently in the hospital after complications from a recent surgery.
“Even though these setbacks have affected the timeline of her treatment, they have not hindered her vivacious determination to battle this disease with all of her positive energy and fierce strength,” organizers wrote on the event’s Facebook page.
Dancing for Tara! will be held from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. May 20 at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St. Music will be provided by Leo A. Gonzales, with performances by Connor Michalchuk, Josh Schonewolf and Rasta Boi Punany. There is no cover for the event, and all donations and proceeds from a 50/50 will be given directly to Lessard.
