"Dancing with the Stars of Broward"

The Pantry of Broward's upcoming 2nd Annual "Dancing with the Stars of Broward" gala event on Saturday, March 13th, 2010 gives the impression it is going to be an even greater success from last year's event!

In a recent preview event held at the Bimini Boatyard Restaurant, the excitement was palpable as over 100 guests previewed the run down for this year's gala which will be held at the Westin Hotel (formerly Yankee Clipper) on Ft. Lauderdale Beach.

The Pantry of Broward is a unique agency servicing seniors in need on low, fixed incomes and grandparents raising their grandchildren throughout Broward County. There are more than 30,000 seniors living in poverty in Broward County and one in 11 grandparents is the principal caregiver for their grandchildren. More information can be found at www.thepantryofbroward.org

The "Dancing with the Stars" concept is based on the very popular TV show on ABC. The Pantry of Broward has invited five popular local figures to train for three weeks prior to the event, each with a professional dance instructor. The night of the event, each of the five couples will initially dance two selections and then the judges will vote to eliminate the first two couples.

There will be a semi-final vote after one more dance by each team, eliminating the third couple and then a final dance for each of the two finalists and the audience will vote for the winner. Each dinner guest will be given a coupon with which to vote plus they can make a donation to The Pantry of Broward to gain extra votes for their dancers.

This year's "Dancing with the Stars of Broward" event is Co-Chaired by Gale Butler and Ginny Miller and the dancers include (in alphabetical order):

Frank Ortis, Mayor of Pembroke Pines
Brenda Johnson, Community Volunteer and Organizational Consultant
John Offerdahl, Former Miami Dolphins & Restaurateur
Stacy Ritter, Broward County Commissioner
Roxanne Vargas, NBC 6
