Annual ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Fundraiser Benefits Southern West Virginia Community
The annual ‘Dancing with the Stars’ competition in Bluefield, West Virginia, brought together local celebrities and community organizations for a fun-filled fundraiser at the newly opened pickleball courts in Bluefield City Park. WVVA’s Martin Staunton and Karen Bowling, president and CEO of WVU Medicine Princeton Community Hospital, teamed up to raise money for United Way of Southern West Virginia, while the Sons of Italy used the tournament to support local students with scholarships.
The collaboration between these two groups not only raised funds for important community programs but also promoted health and wellness through the sport of pickleball. Participants and organizers alike expressed their enthusiasm for the event and the positive impact it had on the community.
