The Boys & Girls Club of Central Arizona twirled its fifth Dancing for the Stars fundraiser into the books at the Yavapai College Center for Performing Arts after local celebrities paired with dance professionals to learn how to hoof while raking in donations to support afterschool programs for at-risk kids. This year’s event broke all fundraising records with a total of $465,000! Cardiologist Dr. Nisha Tung and Lungani Gwana took the Judge’s Award for best performance, Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes and Cari Hughes won the People’s Choice Award and Matt’s Saloon co-owner Matt Brassard and Dre Caldwell raised the most money to clinch the mirror ball trophy for “Best Friendraiser.”
