Aggie Ingold and Todd Campbell Win 2015 Dancing with the Randolph Stars; Benefit Raises Over $161,000
Aggie Ingold and Todd Campbell |
The event raised just over $161,000, according to Ann Hoover and Vickie Gallimore, co-chairs of the Planning Committee, who announced the totals before a sold-out crowd after an evening filled with dances by the 15 competing couples.
After expenses are paid, it is estimated the Foundation will net over $116,000 for scholarships, benefiting around 155 Randolph Community College students, said Hoover. The 2014 fundraiser raised over $166,000 for student scholarships, and the previous four years combined raised a total of nearly $500,000. A video shown during the event included numerous clips of groups of RCC students thanking the donors for their support of student scholarships.
