What do you get when you take notable community figures, pair them with professional ballroom dancers, and give them a few weeks to practice? Bethesda Center for the Homeless annual fundraiser “All Stars!” The couples compete, taking the lead in ending homelessness.
“All Stars!” is Bethesda’s largest annual fundraising event, and brings in significant and vital support in providing for the needs of the homeless in our community.
Funds are raised through ticket sales, sponsorships and by giving event attendees the opportunity to vote for their favorite dancers during All Stars. In addition, to voting for favorite dance teams at the event, voting online is available after “All Stars!” voting.
Each vote is $10 and helps cover the cost of Bethesda providing a day and night’s shelter for one person.
“All Stars!” was held on Thursday, April 26, at the Benton Convention Center, but there is still time for a “thank you vote” to help meet the goal of $150,000 for this year. You may place your vote at www.BCHallstars.org.
