From the opening program to the thrilling "Dancing with the Stars" finale, you’ll be captivated by performances from top-tier ballroom dancers. Following the exhibitions, you’ll have the chance to hit the dance floor yourself, learn a few moves, and enjoy a high-energy dance party!

So put on something sharp, come dance with us, and let’s create a VIBE for a Cure together!

Help us support the Rutledge family as they face unimaginable challenges due to Trevor’s recent ALS diagnosis. At only 40, Trevor, his wife Jenna, and their children—Peyton (14), Aubrey (10), and a newborn son—are grappling with the physical, emotional, and financial toll of ALS. Funds raised at our gala will help them remodel their bathroom and bedroom for safe, accessible care at home. Let’s come together to bring comfort, dignity, and needed support to this incredible family. Join us in making a difference for the Rutledges during this difficult journey!

Are you or someone you know ready to "Dance with the Stars"?

The top male and female individual fundraisers will be offered the opportunity (yes, you may decline) to participate in our friendly once-in-a-lifetime "Dancing with the Stars" competition. No previous dance experience is required! Each participant will be paired with a world-class ballroom dancer/instructor from VIBE DanceSport and will work together during the event to prepare a short dance routine to entertain the crowd and wow our panel of judges.

Click the button above to set up a dancer donation profile and start fundraising for the chance to dance! You may set up a profile for someone you wish to nominate / sponsor to participate (e.g. your spouse, boss, friend). We suggest using "Donate for <dancer's name> to Dance" as the first name. Both ticket purchases and direct donations count towards your fundraising total, so be sure to have your friends "Credit" their favorite dancer when checking out purchasing tickets or donating.

Donations will close / winners will be determined at the VIBE for a Cure Gala at 9 pm on November 9.
