Dancing With the Austin Stars RESULTS
Austin Celebrities Strut Their Stuff for Children
Inaugural Fundraiser Raises More Thank $287K
Austin celebrities put on their dancing shoes and their game face as they heated up the dance floor on Sunday evening, December 2nd, at the First Annual Dancing with the Austin Stars. Celebrity judges Larry Gatlin, Ed Clements, and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott enjoyed sharing their thoughts about the dances as they were announced by Dance Director Sabrina Barker. Audience members chose their favorite dance pair, Bill Jones and his professional dance partner Katie Parr, who won an enormous disco ball trophy for their Paso Doble and Salsa performance.
In addition, guests enjoyed a silent auction with exclusive parties and gingerbread houses from the area's finest restaurants, a semi-live auction, a live auction featuring a trip to Pebble Beach to attend the exclusive Concours D'Elegance, and a drawing for a Lexus Hybrid Luxury Utility Vehicle. Altogether, the evening's events raised $287K on the behalf of the Center for Child Protection. We are grateful to title sponsor Lexus of Austin, honorary chairs Coach Mack Brown and his wife Sally Brown, event chairs Jeanne Parker and Venus Strawn, Dance Director Sabrina Barker of All Ways Dance, sponsors, and all of the celebrity and professional dancers who made this event possible.
