Bellies For Life is an annual, all bellydance, breast cancer fundraiser. All proceeds of this yearly event are donated to a chosen breast cancer organization. Thanks to the amazingly supportive community in Champaign-Urbana, almost everything required for this night is either donated (the space by the Highdive, for example) or accounted for by volunteers (dancers, emcee, photographer, etc.).
