2026 Dance for Your Health – LATIN STYLE!

Join us for our signature fundraising event to help support scholarships focused on health research for women and gender-diverse people.  This year, our fundraising goal is to endow a fourth full-time graduate student scholarship.  These awards help to fill funding gaps in women’s health research and encourage students to develop a career in this much needed field.  Come meet our outstanding scholarship winners as they briefly describe their research.

Hosted by TV personality Ainsley McPhail, you will enjoy a buffet of Latin-style cuisine, delight in the performance of the Quidel Chilean Dance Group and engage in a dance lesson for your health.
