The Randolph Community College Foundation’s Dancing with the Randolph
Stars fundraiser held on June 1 at AVS Catering & Banquet Centre
raised $158,370, a record amount of money in the fourth year of the
event. Community leaders Ann Hoover and Vickie Gallimore, co-chairs of
the Planning Committee, announced the totals before a vocal crowd after
an evening filled with dances by the 17 competing couples and various
entertainment acts while the votes were being tabulated. After expenses are paid, it is estimated the Foundation will net over $123,000 for scholarships for Randolph Community College students, said Hoover. The 2012 fundraiser netted over $95,000 for student scholarships.
Kim Brady, chief operating officer of Windsor Homes, and Neal Robbins, director of legislative affairs for the N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, received the most votes, winning the coveted Dancing with the Randolph Stars trophies. They impressed the crowd and the judges with their shagging routine to “Stagger Lee.” The trophies were presented by last year’s winners, Nicki McKenzie and Dr. Henry Vruwink.
