The Salsa For The Kids events were two salsa fundraiser benefits organized by Jennifer Perry and Stephen Dancey of SalsaVancouver.net in 2005 and 2006 to benefit The KidSafe Project, supporting Vancouver's inner-city children.

The evenings featured music by Vancouver's top Latin DJs and a live band in 2006, performances by many of Vancouver's leading Latin dance companies, fabulous draw prizes, and more.

The success of the events was in large part due to the support we received from Vancouver's salsa community, including event promoters, Djs, dance instructors, performers, musicians - and the support from outside the salsa community, including our sponsors and CBC TV's Gloria Macarenko as host of the 2006 event - and of course everyone who attended the events.

Thanks to everyone who participated in and attended the events, we raised $3,305 for The KidSafe Project Society. More information about KidSafe and the work they do can be found on their website.
