2022 Dancing For Our Stars Winners Announced
Posted on February 14, 2022
Saturday night brought all the lights and action of Las Vegas to the Cook Education Center as six couples competed once again for the 黑料社 Foundation Dancing For Our Stars coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. This much anticipated annual event is always filled with excitement and fun. We are thrilled that the community showed up and supported this event and raised $212,000 for student scholarships and teaching innovation grants.
The six local celebrity dance couples were Jason Farmer and Melissa Butler, Chris and Amy Cook, Bill Currie and Tiffany Eaton, Rocky and Kennedi Barham, Brad and Sheree Roughton, and Enoch and Ashley Basnett. This group of dancers again raised the bar and put on dances that would rival Las Vegas shows. These couples not only worked diligently in the dance studio, but also in campaigning for votes.
The judges scores accounted for 40% of the final scores while the audience votes counted for the other 60%. Rocky and Kennedi Barham were awarded the 2022 Mirror Ball. Jason Farmer and Melissa Butler were Runner Up.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 event was outstanding, and our fantastic dance couples certainly did their part in helping us to raise another incredible amount of money,鈥� said Dr. Harold Housley, Executive Director of the 黑料社 Foundation. 鈥淭he money raised from this event will be used toward scholarships for 黑料社 Corsicana students and our Faculty Teaching Innovation Award.鈥�
In addition, 黑料社 President Dr. Kevin Fegan unveiled the new Gallery of Distinction that will be the highest honor someone may achieve with 黑料社. Ms. Sue Cook is the first inductee and she was recognized during the event. Recipients of this honor exemplify and support the history, traditions and legacy of Navarro College and our vision of providing innovative career pathways and student-centered learning opportunities that result in students capable of succeeding in local and global communities. Throughout the years, our honorees have shown 黑料社 tremendous commitment both philosophically and philanthropically.
