Each year, Dancing with the Statesboro Stars captivates sold-out audiences as community members come together to watch local celebrities and their dance partners showcase their phenomenal dance routines. This event raises funds for Safe Haven, an organization committed to supporting victims of domestic violence.
And it's finally SHOWTIME! The Statesboro Stars will perform on Thursday, November 21 at 6:30pm and Sunday, November 24 at 3pm. Both shows are at Connection Church, located at 1342 Cawana Road in Statesboro, GA. Tickets are still on sale for just $32.50. The show is presented by D&R Car Care, and all proceeds benefit Safe Haven!
The dancers' relentless dedication to perfecting their performances and raising awareness guarantees a memorable, family-friendly experience filled with joy and the motivation to support those in need.
"The unwavering support of the community has consistently propelled this event to success. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, dancers and our community, the vital funds raised help Safe Haven provide essential resources to our community. 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.
At Thursday's show, there will be an interactive Red Carpet event preceding the show. Celebrity judges will award the Judge's Choice Award, and the Fundraiser Award Winners will be announced.
