Vote Now for Your Favorite 'Dancing with the Randolph Stars' Couple

There are less than two weeks left to vote for your favorite couple in the Randolph Community College Foundation Dancing with the Randolph Stars benefit, scheduled for June 5 at AVS Catering & Banquet Centre. Online voting is available at http://www.randolph.edu/dancing.php for the 17 local celebrity pairs who are competing in this event to raise money for student scholarships at RCC. Online voting will be available until 3 p.m. on Friday, June 4.

In addition to voting and ticket sales, scholarship money is being raised through sponsorships from local businesses and community groups. Hans Klaussner and the Hans Klaussner Foundation have become the event's Galaxy Sponsor, donating $10,000 to the cause. "Hans Klaussner and his Foundation have always been committed to our community and to the many causes that have needed his support," said Dave Bryant, chief financial officer of Klaussner Home Furnishings. "His philanthropic efforts have focused on saving and improving the lives of those in need. Asheboro and Randolph County are lucky to have such an avid supporter of these efforts."

Pyramid Services, a privately held, woman-owned corporation that provides support of government services contracts, has become a Constellation Sponsor with a donation of $5,000. Technimark and Asheboro Elastics are Super Star Sponsors with donations of $2,500 each. Sponsors now total 48 with almost $45,000 in sponsorship money raised.

Additional money will come from the $10 per vote that anyone in the community can donate to vote for their favorite celebrity couple. If you would prefer not to vote online, you can vote by sending a check to the RCC Foundation, PO Box 1009, Asheboro, NC 27204-1009, with a note indicating whom the votes are for. Votes need to be received by June 4.
