Thank you for $2.8 Million Raised!

Thank you to our 2024 Dancing with the Stars Austin cast, Event Chairs Amy Beard and Bridget Ramey, our presenting sponsor, Mercedes-Benz of Austin, our committee, our volunteers, and the more than 1,100 event attendees for raising $2.8 million to support child abuse victims in our community.

Our 11 celebrity dancers wowed the audience with their jaw-dropping routines. Monica Fabbio and professional dancer Nolan Whitely’s Cha Cha routine earned them the coveted Mirror Ball trophy. Second place went to Maryanne McKenzie and professional dancer Travis Herman, while third place was awarded to Andrea Nucete-Elliott and professional dancer Ferenc Kiss. Nissa Cleman and professional dancer Eric Young earned the Judge’s Honorable Mention award, and Maryanne McKenzie also took home the Fundraising and Awareness award.

Congratulations to our winners and celebrity dancers for making this night unforgettable and helping us paint the town!
