The Early Night Club (ENC) has announced its Christmas parties taking place this December that will help raise funds for WAY Widowed and Young, a national charity that supports people who’ve been widowed at a young age.
The club has been running sellout ‘early discos’ in Cambridge since 2009, attracting mainly women in midlife who want (and need) to spend a night dancing with their friends.
One regular on the dance floor is WAY member Katherine Horstmann, who was only 45 when she lost her husband Alex in a tragic accident two years ago. “I have always loved dancing. It makes me feel so alive. When I lost Alex, the world went dark, but I knew in my heart I had to keep dancing. Giving up wasn’t an option,” said Katherine.
Alex Ruczaj, ENC founder, continues: “We are honoured that we have been a part of Katherine’s journey as she navigates her way through this tragedy with such courage, while finding some healing on the dancefloor. Katherine is redefining what it means to be a widow: she says herself that she has been broken into thousands of pieces by this loss, and somehow she shines as bright as our glitter ball when she’s dancing.”
The Early Night Club will be donating 10% of the profits from its 18 December event at the Tivoli to WAY Widowed and Young, as well as offering local members of the charity free or discounted tickets
