According to Director Patricia Dixon, the United Way of Montgomery, Toombs, and Wheeler Counties and the Power of the Purse are excitedly preparing for the upcoming “Dancing For the Stars” fundraiser, which will occur on March 3 at Hawk’s Point. “Dancing for the Stars” is a fun community event where well-known citizens participate in a dance competition to raise money for charitable organizations. This year’s participants span from a variety of backgrounds, from young and upcoming professionals, like Grace Cabrol and Jackson Toole, to established leaders, such as Natasha Goss and Eric Smith, to well-known United Way Representative Jordan Robins and Marquelle Middleton, and even two local dance teachers, Elizabeth Colston and Nick Hood, as well as a few more individuals.
