The Woodlands Family YMCA invites the community to join them at the 9th Annual YMCA Dancing with The Woodlands Stars, Presented by “Chesmar Homes” on Friday, April 26. The event is a spin-off of the popular TV show, “Dancing with the Stars”.
This unique charity event is scheduled for 6 pm on Friday, April 26 at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. The community is invited to join in on the fun and support the YMCA Dance Cause Squad. Family-Friendly, the event features local leaders and community members, as the live dance entertainment. The evening includes a buffet dinner, cash bar, silent auction with unique autographed sports memorabilia , photo booth, dancing and much more. Fred Astaire Dance Studio in The Woodlands has partnered with the Y to provide the dance partners, lessons and choreography for the community stars.
Each year, volunteers take to the dance floor to compete for votes and raise funds for The Woodlands Family YMCA. Every dollar raised from the purchase of tables, seats, auction items and votes go directly to the YMCA Annual BETTER US Campaign, which provides community-strengthening Y programs like water safety education, after school enrichment, teen leadership, youth sports, and outreach & supportive services available to everyone regardless of age, income or background.
