Alzheimer's Disease is now the sixth leading cause of death in the United states. Every 68 seconds, someone develops symptoms of this terrible disease.
WGXA is proud to be the presenting media sponsor of an upcoming event to benefit the central Georgia chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Dancing Stars of Central Georgia will take place May 4th at Macon's City Auditorium. This popular fundraiser will be comprised of 10 celebrity dancers paired with 10 professional dancers, all raising funds by gaining votes. The dancers then come together to compete in a one night gala dance competition.
The inaugural event in 2012 was a quick sellout and raised over 200-thousand dollars. Last year's cast is already challenging the new set of stars and pros to beat last year's total!
The cast of stars was revealed live Thursday night during the WGXA News at 7 p.m. broadcast on ABC 16. In case you missed it, here are the teams that will be taking the dance floor:
Mike Kaplan and Pilar Wilder
Larry Schlesinger and Kailey Rhodes
Jim Eyler and Chappel Coleman
Rawson Ridley and Jayme Hale
Mark Ballard and Colby Marshall
Starling Thornsberry and Stuart Spears
Felicia Combs and Cash Leary
Julia Wood and Patrick Hamilton
Virgina Shaheen and James Mulac
Mary Pinson and A. Chester Gibbs
Details on how to purchase tickets for and to donate to this event will be coming soon! Mark your calendar for May 4th now!
WGXA's Chief Meteorologist Jeff Cox and WDEN's Laura Starling will emcee the event.
