Middle School sports in Fort Mill financed in a unique way
Tuesday was Meet the Stars night as celebrities participating in the February 23rd Fort Mill Dancing with the Stars competition turned out at Dance Center, USA.
The second annual dance event will raise money for middle school sports in Fort Mill, which funding was eliminated during school district budget cuts.
The programs were saved by parents and community members who raise $60,000 each year. Gynecologist Ansley Hilton says that’s why she’s participating in the Dancing with the Stars competition.
