DANCING WITH THE STARS-DUBUQUE STYLE
DANCING WITH THE STARS-DUBUQUE STYLE. In 2015 the charity fundraiser announced its sixth season. The project involved ten local people who solicit funds for their charity through donations.

Since the first event, more than $750,000 had been raised for forty local charities, according to the DUBUQUE AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, the host of the event.
