Brightside Advocacy's 17th Annual Dancing with Savannah Stars

Brightside Child & Family Advocacy proudly announces the 17th Annual Dancing with Savannah Stars, set to take place on April 11, 2025, at Victory North. This highly anticipated signature fundraising event will bring together community leaders who will take the stage in support of Brightside Advocacy’s mission to provide advocacy and resources for children in foster care.

Brightside Advocacy will kick off the excitement with a Launch Party on January 28, 2025, at 208 Wine Bar, where this year’s dancers will be introduced, and fundraising efforts will officially begin. While the event is closed to the public, media representatives are invited to attend.

Each Dancing with Savannah Stars participant is committed to raising $15,000, with all proceeds supporting Brightside Advocacy’s three programs. Savannah CASA provides trained volunteers to advocate for children in foster care, ensuring their safety and well-being. Bright House offers a safe, supportive space for supervised visitations and family reunification efforts. Brighter Futures, Brightside’s newest initiative, helps older youth aging out of foster care transition into adulthood through mentorship, life skills training, and housing support. Funds raised will ensure that children, families, and young adults receive the advocacy and resources they need to build stable, thriving futures.

“This event is not only a fun and engaging way for our community to come together, but it also plays a vital role in raising critical funds to support children and families in need,” said Kate Blair, Executive Director of Brightside Advocacy. “We are committed to ensuring that every child has the advocacy, stability, and resources necessary to thrive. Our team works tirelessly to empower volunteers, support families, and create opportunities that lead to brighter futures for those we serve.”
