Are you ready to dance? The 11th annual Dancing with Our Stars is set for 6 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Noblesville. Community Health Network is the presenting sponsor for the fifth consecutive year with a special thanks to The Beckmoore Foundation.
Dancing with Our Stars continues to be Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County’s biggest fundraiser of the year with funds going directly to support the organization’s mission of delivering medically tailored meals to the elderly or those with disabilities, facing food insecurities, or unable to prepare food for themselves, for both short and long term needs in Hamilton County.
“As we celebrate 50 years of service, this event reminds us that when the community comes together, real impact happens,” said Beth Gehlhausen, Executive Director of Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. “Every vote, every dance and every dollar raised helps ensure no neighbor is left hungry or forgotten.”
This event features local professional dancers paired with some of Hamilton County’s most-recognizable residents competing for the ultimate prize of being titled “Dancing with Our Stars Champions 2025.” Audience members can also get into the action and vote for their favorite dancer or dancers to win the night’s People’s Choice Award. Each vote assists in bringing dancers closer to that title.
Professional dancers include: Rob Jenkins, Scott Shook, Sean Gehlhausen, Matt Moore, Zhivko Yankov, Adam Trogdlen, Natasha Cox, Olga Cansino, Yulia Shook, and Diana Miller.
