BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard County’s annual “Dancing For the Space Coast” fundraiser at Florida Tech’s Clemente Center on Saturday is now sold out, but you can catch all the exciting action live on your big screen TV at home starting at 19:00.

HOW TO VISIT

Known as Brevard County’s largest fundraising event, Dancing for the Space Coast is a unique competition and fundraiser benefiting worthy non-profit organizations on the Space Coast.

Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Charity, Inc. was established to assist Brevard County law enforcement officers and firefighters in their time of need.

The 2024 edition of Brevard County’s largest social and philanthropic event of the year will feature featured dancers, Diana Chaves, Grace Han, Terri Clark, Tracy Hudson-Frantzis, Richard and Christine Hunt, Tom Kammerdener, Tom Kelce, Cinthia Kettering, Tracy Latshaw, Dakari Pickens, and Emily Anne Thomason.

Last year’s event raised more than $400,000 for Habitat for Humanity of Brevard, Women’s Center of Brevard, Family Promise of Brevard and United States Law Enforcement Eternal Flame.

This year, Dancing for the Space Coast will raise money to benefit Aging Matters, Spacecoast Discovery, Space Coast Basket Brigade/Best Buddies and the Brevard County Public Safety Charity, which was established to assist Brevard County law enforcement officers and firefighters in their time of need.

“As Sheriff of Brevard County, it gives me great pleasure for our agency to host Dancing for the Space Coast,” said Sheriff Wayne Ivey, who will once again personally preside over all proceedings, including the always entertaining live auction that takes place before the dance begins.

“Dancing for the Space Coast is an exciting event that teams local celebrities with dance professionals in a competition to benefit Brevard County nonprofits. Each contestant dedicates their time and talents to taking dance lessons and also diligently raises money as part of the competition.”

ONLINE BRAGGING RIGHTS

Each celebrity dancer will be paired with a professional dancer as they compete in a ballroom dance – and for bragging rights as the best dancer in Brevard.

On competition night, each dance pair will compete in a choreographed ballroom dance that will be scored by a panel of judges. During the performance, the couples will earn scores based on several factors of technical ability, but the judges’ scores alone do not decide the dancer’s final score.

By the time of the actual performance, the dancers will have already earned 60 percent of their points through their fundraising efforts to benefit needy charities.

Dancing For the Space Coast is presented by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and sponsored by Space Coast Daily, L3Harris and Florida Tech.
