Pinellas Dance Collective
In 2018 & 2019, Onelight was honored to be a founding member and participant in the first and second annual BRIDGEfest. Pinellas Dance Collective, founded in 2017, created BRIDGEfest as an opportunity for dancers to connect with the community at large and offer their art form as a means of fundraising for local organizations in the Tampa Bay Area. BRIDGEfest has partnered with organizations such as CASA St. Pete (Community Action Stops Abuse), Sunken Gardens St. Pete, the STRAZ, and NYStage Productions.

Life with Cancer
In August 2016 Onelight partnered with the incredible organization Life with Cancer to raise awareness and support for their life changing programs. Thanks to the generosity of a sold out crowd, Onelight had the privilege of donating nearly $2,000!
Life with Cancer is the educational and emotional support program of the Inova Schar Cancer Institute, serving the Metropolitan Washington D.C. community. Life with Cancer offers a unique approach to cancer education and support using oncology certified nurses, licensed clinical social workers, therapists, exercise specialists, certified nutritionist and other licensed, credentialed professionals to provide a one-of-a-kind partnership for addressing the needs of families affected by cancer.
Side-Out Foundation
On November 21, 2015, 18 dancers, 2 lighting technicians and 140 audience members gathered at the intimate Fredgren Studio Theatre in Falls Church, VA for the debut performance of Onelight and to support the cancer research efforts of a local organization, Side-Out Foundation.
Side-Out has made great strides in researching how to care for and treat patients with stage 4 breast cancer, the most advanced form of the disease and the least funded area of research. Onelight and participating artists had the privilege of offering their art free of charge, encouraging supporters and attendees to donate. Thanks to our generous audience, we raised $3,000- triple our goal!
