Dancing with the Tri-Cities Stars Benefit Event

Lace up those dancing shoes or at least get ready to come out and support a great cause. Dancing with The Tri-Cities Stars is back for its ninth year! For those not in the know, Dancing with the Tri-Cities Stars is an annual benefit event that includes a silent auction, dinner and most importantly – a whole lot of dancing! Each year 10 local “Stars” from Northeast Tennessee spend countless hours practicing their dance routines for a great cause. All proceeds go to benefit SteppenStone Youth Treatment Services in Limestone, Tennessee a great cause that supports and cares for at-risk youth boys age 13-17.

Since 2003 SteppenStone Youth Treatment Services has provided counseling and continued treatment programs within a safe, caring environment for young boys. SteppenStone’s primary goal is to help heal and help an underserved segment of the population develop the skills they need to become successful, healthy adults. With the help of our community and all the dancer’s time and effort put into this, can provided the best for the boys in our community.

In addition to supporting a great cause, Dancing with the Tri-City Stars is also a great time. Mirroring the format of the hit ABC show Dancing with The Stars, each “Star” performs their dance routine with either Mike or Kim Alder, who together are two time World Champions in the Couples Division of The United Country Western Dance Council (UCWDC)! The female “Stars” even wear actual dresses from the hit show! Once you’ve seen what the skills that the “Stars” have you’ll want to get up and dance too, and the night concludes with open dancing and a live DJ!

This year, Toyota of Kingsport’s very own General Manager Brian Griffith will hit the dance floor as one of the Tri-Cities Stars and with the help of the local community and Brian’s dancing feet, we can make a big difference in the lives of adolescent boys across Tennessee. There’s still time to show your support by donating money in Brian’s, or your favorite dancers, name. Donations will give extra points to the dancers, which help them in the competition.
