The Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA), in partnership with the Exchange Club of Beaufort and the USCB Center for the Arts, proudly announces the resounding success of the 2025 Dancing with Our Stars fundraising event, presented by Hilton Head Cadillac. The event, held at the USCB Center for the Arts on March 14t and 15, 2025, raised an incredible $258,814 to support CAPA’s programs.

The event featured local “stars” paired with professional dance instructors, who captivated audiences with choreographed performances. The journey began with a kick-off dinner on November 21, 2024, where the teams were introduced and began their training.

The event featured a Preview Show on Friday, March 14, followed by the main event on Saturday, March 15, where the winners were announced.

“We are overwhelmed by the incredible support from our community, year in and year out,” said Christina Wilson, executive director. “The funds raised this evening will significantly impact our ability to provide essential services to children and families in the Lowcountry. Our Open Arms Children’s Home celebrated its 40th anniversary on March 9, 2025. This event strongly reminds us that we wouldn’t be here without our community. We are grateful beyond measure.”

CAPA, the Exchange Club of Beaufort, and the USCB Center for the Arts extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the participants, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who contributed to the success of this memorable event. Special thank you to the Beaufort County Channel for live streaming the event.

The competition was fierce, with teams vying for various awards.
