What an Unforgettable Night Under the Stars This year’s Dancing Under the Stars Gala was one of our most extraordinary yet, and it’s all because of you—our dancers, sponsors, supporters, and community who showed up with heart.
Together, we raised over $110,000 to support our mission of serving the most vulnerable across Central Florida. Your generosity directly helps children, women, and men facing homelessness, food insecurity, and financial instability find hope, stability, and a path forward.
