Central Oregon Sparrow Clubs announce that tickets are officially on sale for the sixth annual “Swinging with the Stars” event, scheduled for October 15 at the Tower Theatre. Doors open for the Saturday night show at 5pm. Come and get your picture taken on the red carpet! The show starts at 6pm.
Tickets may be purchased by visiting the Tower Theatre website or by calling 541-317-0700.
Tickets are all general admission and are set at $17 per person for specific seat selection and early purchase is recommended to secure the best seats.
“Swinging with the Stars” is modeled after the wildly popular “Dancing with the Stars” program. Featuring 10 local celebrities, paired with professional dancers, each couple will dance and compete to take home the “People’s Choice Award” and the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. The audience decides who takes home the grand prize trophy as they cast votes for their favorite dancing couple through donating to Sparrow Clubs. Each dollar equals one vote! The event will also showcase local dance talent.
All money raised will be used locally to help Sparrow Clubs continue serving children in medical need, and empowering youth to make a difference in our communities. Sparrow Clubs is proof that you’re never too young to make a difference. As the nation’s only youth-based charity of its kind, Sparrow Clubs not only provides financial and emotional support for critically ill children and their families, but also empowers young people to help a child through charitable service experiences. Sparrow Clubs is centered on the concept of “empowering kids to help kids in medical need.”
Swinging with the Stars is presented by KOHD, Central Oregon’s ABC and sponsored by Combined Communications, The Smart Shopper, Dwyer, Williams, Potter, Smart Solutions, Greenwood Dental and Olive Garden with support from Les Schwab Tire Centers, Storage Solutions, Sunwest Builders, The Anjulicia Foundation, CS Construction, Walker Structural Engineering, Atlas Cider Co, Silver Moon Brewing, McDonald Septic Service, and many others.
