The 12th Annual Dancing for Our Heroes event will be held Friday at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center of Anderson. Presented by The Rotary Club of Greater Anderson, the event is modeled after the popular ABC TV show, Dancing With the Stars, and is held annually to raise money for eleven local charities, including: the Anderson Free Clinic, Anderson Interfaith Ministries, the Cancer Association of Anderson, Foothills Alliance, Hospice of the Upstate, Meals on Wheels of Anderson and the South Carolina Military Family Care Association, United Way of Anderson County and the Westside Community Center, as well as the PolioPlus initiative of the Rotary Foundation.
The dancers will perform one dance of their choice. In addition, there will be opportunities for attendees to dance to deejay Ben Phillips’ music after the competition ends.
The event also features an auction of items and services as part of the fund raising.
