"College Dancing with Our Stars" Fundraising Event Announced.

South Bend, IN. This year the Center for Homelessness has started a brand new fundraising event.  It’s called “College Dancing with our Stars.” Five dance teams are participating, one from Holy Cross, one from Saint Mary's and three from Notre Dame. This being its first year they are really happy with the response.  Now, each team had to choreograph their own dance with very little help from professionals. On top of that, they have been collecting donations to help the Center for the Homeless. You still have time to donate if you want to help out.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
