Big bucks were raised at the Children’s Law Center’s second annual Dancing With the CLC Stars competition.

More than $66,000 was raised to benefit the Center’s work on behalf of the region’s children. This year’s event commemorated the 25th aniversary of the CLC and its work to achieve fair and just legal outcomes for youth and to promote opportunities for better life outcomes for the area’s young people.

Eight celebrity dancers, paired with Arthur Murray dance instructors, competed on May 22, entertaining a crowd of nearly 380 people gathered at Receptions Event Center in Erlanger. The audience enjoyed viewing the dance competition on the dance floor while also viewing it live on three large projection screens and they brought forth thunderous applause after each performance.
