Dancing With the Stars of Branson Raises $33,000

Organizers of this week’s Dancing with the Stars of Branson say they raised over 33-thousand dollars at the charity event.

Money from Wednesday night’s competition at the Whitehouse Theatre went to eight local non-profit groups, including The Branson Tornado Relief Fund.

Chuck O’Day and Stephanie Richardson won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy as well as the Judges Cup Award as the best dancing couple, and top overall fundraisers.  Their individual charities included A Day for Shay and Pals, and Autism Awareness.

This was the third year for the local Dancing with the Stars Event.  The show was postponed one week and moved to a new location, following the leap day tornado that hit Branson and the Dick Clark American Bandstand Theatre.
