TRAVERSE CITY – In only two months, SwingShift and the Stars Dance-off for Charity has raised more than $162,000 for six local charities. The dancers are putting on their cowboy boots this month as they prepare to dance to country band Rebooted, all while continuing to raise funds and awareness for their respective charities.
In October, for the second month in a row, the Leelanau Christian Neighbors team of Troy Broad and Pam McCormick won the dance competition, taking the lead with 17.1 points. Close behind are Brenda Sampson-Welch and Danny Brizard, dancing for Conflict Resolution Services with 16.5 points.
Leelanau Christian Neighbors has also led the way with funds raised, bringing in $27,832 in October, raising their total to almost $85,000. October’s featured charities – Conflict Resolution Services and BrickWays Foundation – raised $7,000 and $5,700 each, bringing their event totals to $19,847 and $16,680.
Becky Garland, executive director of Conflict Resolution Services, said the October event exceeded their expectations.
“It was beyond what we expected, and not just in money raised, but in the enthusiasm of the people there and the way the video was received.”
