On October 19 at The Tower Theatre, the ninth annual Swinging with the Stars event raised over $60,000 for Central Oregon Sparrow Clubs.
Swinging with the Stars is modeled after the wildly popular Dancing with the Stars program and featured nine local celebrities, paired with professional dancers. It was a sold-out show. Each team danced and competed to take home the People’s Choice Award and the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. The audience decided who took home the grand prize trophy as they cast votes for their favorite dancing couple/team through donating to Sparrow Clubs. All trophy winners are listed below.
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.”
