Due to the potential for strong winds and rain, the Women’s Fund of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation has made the decision to move the outdoor VIP social hour for Dancing with our Stars to inside the Gorecki Center – Building 21 – at the College of Saint Benedict. Link to campus map: https://www.csbsju.edu/…/2025/04/MapPads2025-Digital.pdf
If you are a sponsor, or purchased a $90 VIP ticket please park in lots 9-11, the same lots as previous years. We will have golf cart drivers available to give lifts to those who would like a ride.
If you purchased a $25 – SHOW ONLY ticket you will park in lot 6 and enter the Benedicta Arts Center – building 20, doors open at 6:45 p.m.
The Women’s Fund of Central Minnesota Community Foundation would like to cordially invite you to attend the fundraising event of the year! This year’s event will feature a dance competition between six local celebrities who have been paired with a professional partner to face off for the chance to win up to $15,000 for the non-profit program/organization of their choice that supports women and girls! This is a do-not-miss event!
