St. Cloud, Minn. – The dancer line-up has been finalized for this year’s Women’s Fund Presents: Dancing with Our Stars Live event.
The event is supported by the Women’s Fund of the Central Minnesota Community Foundation. It is a competition that brings together community leaders with dancing partners to showcase their skills to raise funds for their chosen nonprofit. Each nonprofit is centered around supporting a wide variety of programs that benefit girls, women experiencing adversity and elder women.
Dance couples will begin practicing their routines months before the competition. The final competition scores will be determined through a combination of judges’ scores and dollars raised for nonprofits, with 40% of the score coming from the judges and 60% from fundraising efforts.
The 9th annual fundraising competition will feature six community star dancers, paired with a dancing partner for a chance to win up to $15,000 for the nonprofit of their choice. This year’s Dancing with Our Stars will be at the College of Saint Benedict on June 9, 2025.
