Purchase tickets early for Dancing with the Delaware Stars Jan. 25

The 11th Annual Dancing with the Delaware Stars will benefit The Greater Dover Boys & Girls Club and Mom’s House of Dover. The event will take place at 6 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 25, at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino in Dover. 

“We are so fortunate to be working together with other organizations and members of our community to build quality educational programs for our children. This fundraising event really raises awareness and support to allow us to reach more kids who need us the most,” said Jake Getty, Greater Dover Boys & Girls Club executive director.

Dancing with the Delaware Stars sells out every year within days. Local celebrities partner with dance professionals to perform a judged dance routine, similar to the hit television show. Couples are judged based on dollars raised, judges’ scores and votes from the public.

“Terri Brown, founder of the DWDS, has made this fun-fundraiser the event of the year. I am up for the challenge in my first year as event chair,” said Jackie Mayan, Mom’s House board member. “I am excited to be part of continuing the mission of lifting up the people of the communities in which we live, work and play. I grew up with a single mom, and it warms my heart knowing Mom’s House is a resource providing quality daycare for single parents enrolled in school full time. It is definitely a cause that is near and dear to my heart.”

Tickets are $75. To purchase tickets or place a vote, go to www.dwdstars.com.
