On August 11th, 2012 Pole for a Purpose, Florida’s largest Pole Dance Fitness Showcase to Benefit Charity, welcomed over 300 guests at one of Tampa’s most well known historic event venues, The Ritz Ybor. Over 50 performers graced the stage, all coming together in a one of a kind collaboration to pay it forward through the art and sport of Pole Dance.

We couldn’t have been more amazed by the creativity and positive energy beaming from every performer on stage who donated their time and energy to be a part of Pole for a Purpose in only it’s second year of existence. We welcomed performers from several pole dance studios in Florida and some even as far as Georgia!

With all of their support, we are proud to announce that we raised $3,000 for our 2012 beneficiary, The Spring of Tampa Bay. The Spring of Tampa Bay provides support to recovering victims of domestic violence in the form of shelter, clothing, food and financial aid.

We cannot thank everyone enough, from the supportive crowd, our wonderful sponsors, amazing performers, hard working event management team and dedicated volunteers for helping us succeed this year. We look forward to Pole for a Purpose 2013 with much excitement and hope for your future involvement.
