Due to its great success and a sold out crowd in the first year, the event was moved to Monaco Pictures at Bridge Street in 2008.· Located in the two-story ballroom combining the lobby, Scene Lounge, and the Privé VIP area, seven new Stars prepared for another great night of dancing.

Owing to the positive feedback regarding the new location, food, and beverages in the first two years, Stars Dancing for HEALS 2010 was another great success at the Monaco.

Thanks to the continued growth and popularity of the event, SDFH 2011 was moved to the Propst Lobby & Arena at the VBC. Please stay tuned for date, times, and location for 2012.

The event offers a little something for everyone—great music, general dancing, and fun social atmosphere with a Hollywood feel.

Each star is paired with a local, professional dance instructor at the studios to prepare one dance for the night of the event. They receive approximately 20 hours in lessons to prepare for the dance, which is donated at no cost, on behalf of the professionals.

HEALS appreciates the willingness of the stars and studios to step into the spotlight to benefit the children we serve at our school-based health care clinics.· Without their support and enthusiasm, this event would not be possible.· We look forward to working with future stars of the community for this rewarding and enjoyable experience.

The Star who raises the most money (called “votes”) for HEALS wins the Top Champion for Children award.  Each Star’s fund raising goal is $10,000.  Every dollar donated to HEALS counts as one vote. 

Just like the show, a Crowd Favorite Award is awarded by the audience based on applause duration and intensity, so be sure to join us for the show to cheer on your favorites!

Sponsorship opportunities are offered each year ranging from $1,500 to $10,000. Each sponsorship includes table seating at the event and fantastic promotional opportunities.  Sponsorships can count as votes for the stars as well.

ANYONE, ANYWHERE can vote for the stars of the year by donating to HEALS in the amount of their choice.  Every dollar donated in the star's name counts as a vote.  It’s as simple as 1-2-3, and there are many ways for folks to contribute by:

• Donating online at www.healsinc.org
• Mailing a donation to HEALS in your name before the event (1100 Meridian Street Huntsville, AL 35801)
• Purchasing reservations online for $125 (with an option to count as votes)
