A popular Kelowna fundraiser will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, when the Central Okanagan Hospice Association holds it Swinging with the Stars gala.
The March 10 event will set the stage for six dancers, couples and, new this year, three teams to strut their moves on the dance floor.
This year’s theme, Dancing Through the Decades, celebrates the ten years of the fundraiser, and will showcase past alumni and “all the glitz and glamour the signature event has become known for.”
Dancers are already fundraising and rehearsing to participate in the event. This year’s line up includes:
- Husband and wife pair Laura Draycott (Wink-i-Wear) and Stephen Maser (Aura Wealth Management at Raymond James);
- Husband and wife pair Lisa and Joe Kolar (TWP Fitness);
- Martine Parent (Martini For all Occasions Wedding and Event Planning);
- Marika Wolf (Remax Realty);
- Shannelle Connell (Miss Universe Canada Delegate, international speaker);
- Sheri-Lee Turner-Krouzel and Curtis Krouzel (founders and proprietors, 50th Parallel Estate Winery).
An exciting addition this year will be a new competition and category. The March 10 event will see three teams participating, with six to eight dancers in each team. The roster of teams includes:
- Restore Vein and Skincare Centre;
- The November Project;
- Swinging with the Stars Alumni.
During the coming months each dancer and team will be practicing their routines and fundraising in preparation for the big show at the Delta Grand Hotel. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by phone, at 250-864-0533, or by emailing [email protected].
