Central Oregon Sparrow Clubs announces that due to COVID-19, they are unable to hold their live event at The Tower Theatre this year, so they have pivoted and are doing a virtual event on Saturday, October 17 at 6pm. The show must go on!
2020 is the ten-year anniversary of Swinging with the Stars and the focus is on the Pro dancers who have helped make this event a success from the beginning. This year will be SWTS 2020- PRO Edition, a one-hour online event that can be viewed on the Swinging with the Stars website. This will be a pre-recorded show with a LIVE feel to it. No charge to view the show, but any donation is appreciated.
For all the details and the line-up of our Pros, go to: swingingwiththestars.org. Vote/donate NOW for your favorites!
Also included in the fun and philanthropy will be a mix of some memorable performances from past Swinging with the Stars shows. You will see some familiar faces from the Central Oregon community, all in an effort to help Sparrow Clubs reach their goal of raising $30,000 for their ten-year anniversary show.
This year the public will be voting for the Pros to win The People’s Choice — Mirrorball Award. The virtual audience decides who takes home the grand prize trophy as they cast votes for their favorite Pro dancers through donating to Sparrow Clubs. Each dollar equals one vote!
COVID-19 has been able to shut down a lot of things… but it cannot shut down compassion! 100 percent of donations raised will allow Sparrow Clubs to continue to impact the lives of youth throughout Central Oregon, while offering financial and emotional support to local families with children in medical need.
Swinging with the Stars is sponsored by: The 1687 Foundation, Dwyer, Williams, Cherkoss – Attorneys, Hayden Homes, Greenwood Dental, M-Tech Motorcycles, Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund, Mountain View Heating, SunWest Builders, Michael & Taylor Leeland and many others.
