The Partnership for Families, Children and Adults is celebrating the success of an unprecedented, record breaking 9th Annual Dancing with the Chattanooga Stars. PFCA grossed $413,000 through the work of 10 dancers; numerous sponsors, including presenting sponsors, News Channel 9 and Signature Brokers; and through the generosity of thousands of supporters.
“My sincere appreciation goes out to Chairs Robin and Eddie Grant who lead this all-star dancing team to unbelievable success” Pam Ladd, CEO said.”This fundraising effort will allow Partnership to continue impacting the lives of the most vulnerable members of our community.”
This year, Cindy Wilson, nurse practitioner and center director at Center for Facial Rejuvenation, took home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy as the Grand Ballroom Champion, raising yet another record breaking total of $101,511. Sherri Anderson, C.P.A., audit manager with Johnson, Hickey & Murchison, P.C. won Fan Favorite, raising $74,008. Dr. Chad Eslinger, Pediatric Dentistry of Chattanooga, Cleveland, Ooltewah and Ringgold was the recipient of a new award, the “Dancing
King,” for bringing in a total of $67,535. Joey Winslett, real estate agent with Signature Brokers and the front man of the Joey Winslett Band won the Judges Choice Award for his fundraising total of
$38,922.
Last September, Martina Harris, Garrett Bruner, Ray Wright, Joey Winslett, Sherri Anderson, Cindy
Wilson, Austin Garrett, Ron Harris, Darlene Smith and Chad Eslinger strapped on their dancing shoes
on behalf of the Partnership. Every dancer was given a goal of raising $20,000. Saturday’s event was
