Mark your calendars for March 28, 2015. No need to wait for the newest season of ABC’s hit “Dancing with the Stars.” Habersham folks can make their way over to the auditorium at Habersham High and see our local “Star” cutting a rug with the professionals. Produced by the Habersham Rotary Club and the Circle of Hope as a fundraiser, the show promises to show a new side of our celebrities, be a rollicking night of fun, and provide needed funds for the Circle of Hope and the Rotary Club.
Plans for the show began back in November when the local stars were introduced to their professionals. Practice began immediately and will continue right up until curtain time in March. NowHabersham will be showcasing each of these 10 couples weekly right up until the premiere. Profiles and pictures followed by video of the practices will highlight the talents of each couple.
In order to raise funds, tickets are available for the event at $20.00 per ticket and can be purchased via the website https://www.dancingwiththestarsforhope.org/ In addition, to vote for your favorite couple, gather your dollars. The couple with the most votes or dollars will be crowned the “People’s Choice.” In a few weeks, locations will be announced where you can cast your vote, or place your dollars in support of your favorite couple. In the meantime, “votes” can be cast on the event’s website. The night of the show, the lobby will have “ballot” boxes where your dollars can help vault your team to the top.
All proceeds from the event go the Circle of Hope founded in 1987. The non-profit agency serves Habersham, Stephens and White county with a mission “to support, empower and bring hope to those affected by domestic violence through advocacy, awareness, education and community partnerships.” The agency provides shelters and a hotline for those suffering from domestic violence.
Watch NowHabersham.com for weekly profiles and updates on each couple. NowHabersham is a proud sponsor of the event.
