Courtney takes the lead as the first dance celebrity to stand up for the cancer fight in today's monthly newsletter presented by Dancers Care Foundation. Dancers Care Foundation is the #1 non-profit for dancers and dance related companies where 100% of proceeds go directly to cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cures. Today, Dancers Care Foundation launches its first newsletter in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

This is your chance to join in on the conversations and take action towards the cause. This exclusive email will guide you towards the foundation's progress, donation highlights and important updates. Most importantly, this is a place where your favorite spokespersons in dance speak up on behalf of "Dancers that Care".

This month, Courtney Galiano has joined forces with Dancers Care Foundation to kick off the nationwide "Dance for a New Day" dance video contest. The contest runs through June of 2012 and will spark one of the largest collaborations for cancer awareness in the dance industry. Dancers will post one minute choreographed routines to any part of the song "New Day" and win prizes from Capezio and New York Dance Experience.

"Dancers Care Foundation is an organization I hold extremely close to my heart now more than ever.

It's a funny thing. I think we all grow up never thinking anything harmful could happen to us or those around us that we love... cancer just happens to others, not ME or MY family or MY friends... just others. My grandfather recently has been diagnosed with cancer. We are all affiliated with someone who has been affected by this disease and so I think we should honor those we love and care for by fighting back.

I am proud to be a part of the dance community and I can say with confidence that dancers are the most passionate individuals. If we get together and fight for this cause, I truly believe we can do our part to help find a cure. My grandfather is a fighter and by getting involved with the Dancers Care Foundation, I want him to know that I'll be fighting with him."
