Gold sponsors of

"Dancing With The Stars of Northern Pima County" Fundraiser Gala held Saturday, November 8, 2008 at the Hilton El Conquistador Golf & Tennis Resort.

 

American Dance donated 15 lessons to each student. Elizabeth Keyes personally

choreographed  each routine, and chose the dance and music for each star.

 

“It was the biggest event this chamber ever had, and the most successful” in terms of attendance and fund-raising, said Jane Cannon, a chamber staff member. A total of 430 people enjoyed the evening, and the staff was still tallying auction income Monday.
