The History behind Dare to Dance

Dare to Dance began in 2008 as an effort put on by two non-profits of Chattanooga: Partnership for Families, Children and Adults & The Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga Area. After the first year of co-hosting the event together, both nonprofits saw it fit best to move in different directions. “Dare to Dance” remained as The Kidney Foundation of Greater Chattanooga’s event; and “Dancing with the Chattanooga Stars” was then created as The Partnership’s event. DWTCS ran for an additional 9 years. Dare to Dance is currently Chattanooga’s only Celebrity/Professional Dancing fundraising event.
