BHS Students Dance and Glow for Charity

The Blacklight Dance attracted more than 1,000 students, who came to dance among the glow produced by black lights and raise money for charity, Saturday evening.

This was the second year that the Barrington Area Community Foundation Youth Advisory Council held a fundraising dance. All funds go the BACF which distributes grants for unmet needs within the community through local Barrington charities.

David Hirsch, a director of BACF, said the dance was a huge success, raising more than $17,000, after expenses.

He said BHS sophomore Peter Chung did a fabulous job of planning and executing the event held in the school cafeteria. The cafeteria was decorated with posters and artwork that glowed under the black lights.
