SAVE THE DATE – DETAILS COMING SOON!
Twirl to the World is an annual holiday-themed dance party presented by and for Charlotte’s LGBT and allied communities to raise money for charitable organizations and collect toys for disadvantaged youth. The event will mark its 12th consecutive year of giving in 2020. To date, more than $180,000 and 5,000 toys have been distributed by the host committee.
Twirl to the World is a project of the Twirl to the World Foundation, a tax-exempt, non-profit organization founded by husbands Zuni Johnson and Jason McCraw.
“We created Twirl to the World in 2009 as a way to literally bring more joy to the world — or at least our little corner of it. The idea has always been to bring the LGBT community together during the holiday season and have fun while giving back. From our humble beginnings, when the price of admission was simply a teddy bear for a child with HIV/AIDS, that simple premise has been the blueprint for our success. Even as we evolve and grow, we remain committed to our core mission of ‘making a difference, one dance step at a time.’”
