Jamestown (CSi) Girls of all ages will join their fathers, grandfathers or other male role models out on the dance floor Friday April 15, 216, at Quality Inn & Suites in Jamestown.

Tickets are $20 per couple, $25 at the door. Two additional grandchildren are $5 each.

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSI Cable 2, Co-Chair of the Relay for Life Event, Mayda Mueller, said The fifth Annual Father/Daughter/Grandfather Social Event is for couples that include a father and daughter, grandfather and granddaughter or any other couples that include a male role model and a daughter.

Mayda added that some fathers take more than one daughter.

Also on our show, Co-Chair Carlla Maki said that couples of any age are welcome.

Mayda said, that proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. Last year, with 216 guests, or 106 couples, the event raised $2,158.

The event is conducted by several community members who have felt the uncertainties cancer can bring to a family, including Carlla and her family.

The grand march, is at 6:30-p.m., where each couple is announced. After the march, couples will stand underneath a decorated arch, where onlookers, such as mothers or other family members and friends, can take photos.

Onlookers can also stay through the first dance of the evening, but are asked to leave after the song has finished.

Cookies, bars and punch will be provided for guests. There will not be alcohol provided at the event.

Mayda pointed out that the event was brought to Jamestown after Mueller heard about a similar event in Fargo and Grand Forks.

Carlla has been involved the past three years.

Attire for the event is semiformal. Girls tend to wear dresses, and it’s common that their dates wear a tie to match their gowns.

Pam Syverson is donating her time to be the disc jockey for the night, with Pit Stop Karaoke, and DiAnn Loper, who is also donating her time and rooms at the Quality Inn & Suites, will be the emcee.
