See What You Missed at The 11th Anniversary of Dancing Under the Stars
Last year we celebrated Dancing Under the Stars’ 10th Anniversary! In the last 11 years, we’ve had 125 Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula area celebrities compete for our awards and raise valuable funds for our agencies—11 of these brave celebrities even danced a second time in our 2014 All Star Event. Since 2009, we’ve had 56 local professional dancers supporting our celebrities. And thanks to their efforts, this event has raised over $520,000 since 2009! We’re looking forward to the next decade of Dancing Under the Stars!
Thank You to All of Our Program Advertisers!
