Join us for a dynamic evening

 

supporting the students of Cristo Rey Jesuit

 

and your favorite Stars!

 

 

Each Star is a change-maker in Milwaukee who has volunteered to train and perform

with a professional Fred Astaire dancer in the hopes of winning your vote.

 

They are competing to raise money for CRJ students.

 

Three esteemed Judges offer commentary on performances, but YOU determine the winner with your "votes" via dollars donated. 

 

You can vote as many times as you wish, for as many dancers as you like.

 

 

 

 

Why vote?

 

 

 

Your vote helps provide CRJ students with a transformational education.

 

Vote now, vote often, and spread the word to get your friends and family voting for even more competition!

 

With your support, the future is bright for CRJ students and for Milwaukee.

 

 

 

 

How it works:

 

 

 

  • Vote for your favorite Star, or vote for as many dancers as you like. At the end of the night, the students are the ultimate winners, so the sky is the limit!

 

  • To purchase votes, select your dancer and add as many votes as you want to your shopping cart. Remember, the winner is determined by total dollars raised not by number of votes.

 

  • Tickets, tables, and sponsorships are also available and those purchases can also support your favorite dancer(s). Use the dropdown menu in your cart page.

 

  • Check out securely with a credit card.

 

  • You can come back as often as you like. All your purchases will be gathered into one account for easy reference when you register.

 

  • Pro-Tip: Opt-in to register your credit card before the event for a faster check-in experience.
