“You're sugar
You're spice
You're everything nice
and you're Daddy's Little Girl.”

The American Cancer Society Victory Board invites every daddy to celebrate his little girl or girls by donning their Sunday best and coming out to the annual Father + Daughter Dance at Ziggy’s on St. Simons Island from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Sunday, February 10. For the past few years, this special fundraising event has grown to be one that is highly anticipated and well-attended. We’ll admit, we absolutely adore seeing the photos of the darling daughters and their dads getting dressed up for this special occasion and polishing up their dancing shoes to take a spin around the dance floor.
There are plenty of opportunities at the dance to make her feel like a princess, with flowers, photo ops, games and prizes. So, dads, brush up on your dance moves and maybe make a spa appointment for a pre-event mani-pedi together. Pamper your princess; this one is for her. Next time, you can take her fishing! EIL will be dropping in to take pictures to capture the occasion as well, so you and your little lady could end up in our pages too. The best part is that the proceeds from the event benefit the American Cancer Society in their fight to find a cure, so you have the extra bonus of doing something good while enjoying time with the precious girls you love.
It’s a fun afternoon for all ages to enjoy some daddy-daughter style bonding. And it’s not just limited to dads; big brothers, uncles, grandfathers, etc. are welcome to step in to fill those shoes so every little girl has a special day. Mothers don’t have to feel completely left out here either. Ladies, you can always play chauffeur, snap a few photos at the door, and then get together with the other moms at Bonefish a little libation and some Bang Bang Shrimp next door while the dads and daughters do their thing. In any case, it’s a perfect opportunity to celebrate our little girls and the men who love them. We hope to see you there.
Tickets are $10 per person and are on sale at Whippersnappers, Cutie Patooties, Jill Stanford Dance Center, and Bailey Boys. To further benefit this cause, Bailey Boys will donate a percent of proceeds from dress sales for the event back to ACS, so if you purchase a dress there for the occasion, be sure to mention the dance at checkout. Tickets for the dance can also be purchased online at acsvictoryboard.org.
