Each dollar raised can truly help save a life right here in our community. Together, we are making a difference," said Kim Billings of Safe Haven.
It's truly remarkable to witness the unity of 12 local stars and 12 dance professionals who have generously agreed to showcase their talents in support of this noble cause.
