AdvoKATE hosts Kate Campa Dance Invitational

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Local performers lit up the stage at the Kate Campa Dance Invitational Saturday evening.

The AdvoKATE Foundation hosted the dance at 7:00 p.m. at Yuma High School's Snider Auditorium.

The event was organized by Kate Campa's mother, Lilian, who started the foundation to honor her daughter's memory.

During the event, dancers from Yuma High Schools and local dance groups performed Kate's favorite songs.

"It's been...nothing but a blessing for us to get to watch the dancers, and I know for Lily because so much of her life, when Kate was little, [was] about dance...to be able to be a big part of the dance community again," said Kristan Sheppeard, Board Member, AdvoKATE Foundation.

The local non-profit hopes the dance brings awareness to childhood cancer in honor of Kate, who passed away at 16-years-old from a rare form of bone cancer.
