Saturday night brought lots of glitz and glam to the 库克教育中心 as six couples competed once again for the 皇冠博彩基金会 Dancing For Our Stars coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. This much anticipated annual event is always filled with excitement and fun. We are thrilled that the community showed up and supported this event and raised $249,000 for student scholarships and teaching innovation grants.
The six local celebrity dance couples were Reese and Lori Hines, Raychaun and Samara Ballard, Kenny and Tresa Shimonek, Jerrod and Katie Cameron, Russell and Natalie Montfort, and Josh Rodriguez and Katie Beth Casaday. Each couple brought a wonderful performance, and it was amazing to see all the different personalities and music choices come together to create a dynamic performance. These couples not only worked diligently in the dance studio, but also in campaigning for votes.
The judges scores accounted for 50% of the final scores while the audience votes counted for the other 50%. Raychaun和Samara Ballard被授予2021年镜球奖。 杰罗德·卡梅伦和凯蒂·卡梅伦获得亚军。
“This year’s event was a tremendous success, and our fantastic dance couples certainly did their part in helping us to raise the most money to date,” said Dr. Harold Housley, Executive Director of the 皇冠博彩基金会. “The money raised from this event will be used toward scholarships for 皇冠博彩 Corsicana students and our Faculty Teaching Innovation Award.”
In addition, 皇冠博彩 President Dr. Kevin Fegan and 校董会 Chairman Phil Judson recognized the late Lloyd Huffman, former Representative Byron Cook and Health Professions Dean Guy Featherston for their vision and dedication relating to getting HB 885 passed through the Texas Legislature that will allow 皇冠博彩 to offer BSN degrees.
The 皇冠博彩基金会 would like to thank all the sponsors, dancers, committee members, volunteers and attendees for all everyone did to make this another spectacular event.
