For the love of pets, the Leaps for Lives Dance Company is headed to Tucson Hop Shop to throw a fundraiser from 5 – 10 p.m. on Saturday, May 25.
The dance company has a mission to raise money for Southern Arizona pet rescue organizations through their dance productions. Their efforts also bring awareness to pet adoption and to “the well-being of our four-legged companions.”
Aside from the great selection of hops inside Tucson Hop Shop, they’re planning on having food and live music to keep you entertained and leaping for joy.
Money raised at the event will also go towards production costs for their annual Fall Showcase.
If you can’t make it to the event you can always grab a t-shirt, which will also help out the furry buddies.
Tucson Hop Shop is located at 3230 N. Dodge Blvd. For more information, check out the Leaps for Lives Facebook event page.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
