The Diaper Bank's gala event "Dancing With Our Stars" was a smashing success thanks to your local volunteer dancers and their professional partners who worked hard for weeks to bust the right moves on the dance floor! Below are few photos from the event. Click here for a recap of the event.
Here's a group shot of most of our dancers. (You're ALL winners in our book!)
Long-time supporter and general good guy, Bobby Rich, from MIX-FM handled the Master of Ceremonies duties with his usual panache. Though busy all night, he still found time to cut a rug with Diaper Bank board member Carolyn Monjoi!
You can tell by the smiles on their faces that these ladies thought the event was a lot of fun! (From left: Diaper Bank board president Lynda Hanna, our executive director Kirsten Grabo, and one of the founders of the Diaper bank, Hildy Gottlieb.)
Dan Marries took
top honors
in the Cha-Cha
category.
Blue Danube, anyone?
Faria Dretler waltzed her way into first place in the Waltz category.
Just remember, 1-2-3, 1-2-3...
Are you ready to RUMBA?
Richard Luebke was.
He showed classic ballroom style to take home the Rumba trophy.
Carolyn Russo offered a sultry (and top place award-winning) performance to dance away with first place in the Tango competition!
Below, MIX-FM's Bobby Rich shares a group hug with Diaper Bank Founders, Hildy Gottlieb and Dimitri Petropolis.

His services as volunteer auctioneer?
Priceless!
Our three dedicated judges (from left: Artie Stone, Melissa Lowe and Douglas Nielsen) had a hard job helping the audience to decide the winners in four dance categories!
