In a world where fundraising meets footwork…
Where Northampton’s brightest gather to twirl for a cause…
One man will step onto the dance floor like never before.
Hi, I’m Jeffrey Hoess-Brooks (HB). I’ve spent years in Northampton building community, championing local causes, and—let’s be real—hoping no one would ever ask me to dance onstage. My long relationship with the Cutchins Program has always been rooted in admiration, partnership, and the occasional moment where I find myself saying, “Wait… you want me to do WHAT?”
But this April… everything changes.
Armed with dedication, questionable rhythm, and an unshakable commitment to the children and families Cutchins serves, I’m stepping into one of my greatest challenges yet: dancing in public. On purpose.
Witness the passion.
Experience the suspense.
Marvel at the bravery of me attempting choreography .... for a cause.
This spring…
I dance. For Cutchins. For Northampton. For glory.
(And hopefully… for your votes.)
