That was the Dancer against Cancer Ball in the Vienna Hofburg
In the last 17 years, Dancer against Cancer has been able to donate 1,700,000 Euros, and this year there was again a special project by the Austrian Cancer Aid Vienna for which funds were raised. With the proceeds from this year's ball, which will be determined in the coming weeks, Dancer Against Cancer supports the aftercare focus of the Cancer Aid Vienna with the project "Back to Life – Support for Cancer Patients in Aftercare".
Dancer against Cancer Ball collected again for Cancer Aid
The evening was hosted by musician Andy Lee Lang, who delighted the audience at the beginning with his Unchained Melody song. Afterwards, all cancer patients who were at the ball this year were honored with a lap of honor through the ballroom. The MyAid Award went to the self-help group Pinke Löwin St. Pölten.
Vienna's City Councilor for Health, Peter Hacker, opened the ball. There was a special performance by Gary Lux, who - in the spirit of the Song Contest - performed the song "Children of this World" as well as a brand new song of his own. Musically, Beatrice Turin was also in action with her homage to Marilyn Monroe.
But as the name "Dancer against Cancer" suggests, there were over 300 professional dancers who presented great choreographies. Among them were also the winners of the big chance "Indeed Unique". For the first time, so-called "Angels" were created for cancer patients, who donated tickets for the often financially very strained fighters: Alexander Beza and Kathi Stumpf, Heribert Kasper, Iva Schell, Evelyn Rillé, Daniela Krammer, Gary Lux, Hannes Nedbal, and many others.
