Dancing with the Stars to Benefit Adam's House

The First Annual "Dancing with the Stars to Benefit Adam's House" was a huge success! Congratulations to Donna DiBenedetto   of Perry Hill School and Stefan Zuber of Fred Astaire Studio of Orange. Donna and Stefan brought home BOTH the People's Choice AND Judges Champion trophies! With this event, we are able to bring more than 10 families through the doors of Adam's House—where they will receive peer-to-peer support and grief education, all while learning to process the loss of a loved one and navigate their personal grief journey. In case you missed it, please view the photos and videos from this incredible evening!
