(KNSI) – Six dancers will take the stage to help the Women’s Fund of Central Minnesota this spring.
District 742, the St. Cloud Fire Department, and Visit Greater St. Cloud are just some of the organizations being represented. Each performance is a pairing between a professional and a community star to help benefit an area charity or worthwhile organization.
Dancing With Our Stars is one of the Women’s Fund’s biggest fundraisers. In 2022, it raised nearly $650,000 in total. Practices will run in the months ahead of this year’s event, scheduled for June 12th at the College of St. Benedict.
A link to purchase tickets or find viewing information is online here. More updates will be forthcoming as we get closer to the competition.
Winners are determined by a combination of money raised (60%) and judges’ scores from their routine (40%). A full list of the dancers and organizations they are benefiting is below.
