Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya
(APPLETON, Wis.) - Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars will perform showcase dances and participate as guest judges at the fifth annual Sexual Assault Crisis Center’s Shall We Dance gala event.
The anniversary celebration will take place at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel on June 1, 2012. The guest appearances have been made possible through a sponsorship from Frank and Angela Gillitzer of Absolute Danz.
“We are very excited to have Jonathan and Anna performing and judging,” said Caroline Lasecki, executive director of the Sexual Assault Crisis Center. “Due to grant short falls in 2011, we need the community’s support more than ever. We anticipate 2012 to be the best Shall We Dance yet.”
Limited table sponsorships of 10 seats are available for $1000. Limited general admission tickets for Shall We Dance go on sale May 1. For more information, contact Caroline Lasecki at caroline@sacc-foxcities.org.
