Stone Belt Wins Dancing with the Celebrities
Congratulations to Stone Belt for winning Dancing with the Celebrities! Thanks to the generosity of donors – including many clients and staff – Stone Belt raised the most dollars and therefore was awarded the Overall Winner trophy.
In Dancing with the Celebrities, six Bloomington personalities each dance in support of one area agency in an annual competition that is much like Dancing with the Stars. This year, Stone Belt was selected as one of the agencies. During the four months leading up to the event (which was held this past Saturday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater in Bloomington), Stone Belt worked to bring in donations. Every dollar counted as a vote for Phil Meyer - our celebrity - as well as for Stone Belt.
Phil, station manager for WTIU, did an outstanding job mastering 3 challenging dance routines with his professional dance instructor from the Arthur Murray Dance Studio. He was an excellent performer at the event. The points he received from the judges were combined with the “votes” (dollars) that Stone Belt raised. Stone Belt raised $20,430 to support our programs of excellence, and was declared the winner on Saturday night.
Thanks to all who contributed to this great fundraising effort, and a special thanks to Phil for the hundreds of hours he put into learning and mastering his routines. It was a great night for Stone Belt!
