Dancing With the Keene Stars (DWTKS) is one of our most popular fundraisers, and it raises most of the money we need to put on Project Graduation. This fundraiser pairs a local community member with a “pro” dancer and they compete against other couples in a friendly dance competition. At each show, the audience votes on the winning dancers, and the Judges award a couple the “Judges Award”.
