“We all know the truth. Grants are vanishing. Funding is drying up. And the arts are being asked to do more with less. But tonight gives us hope,” said Karen Grundy at DWMS 2025, where the community showed up, cheered, and supported the celebrities fundraising for Mareck Center for Dance.
✨Thank you to the Como Missourian and journalist Yong Li Xuan for highlighting the joy, energy, and community spirit at Dancing with Missouri Stars 2025 in their latest article: "Local celebrities shine on stage at Dancing with Missouri Stars 2025."
