Stars of Ballina 2024: A Night to Remember
We’re still buzzing from the excitement of the Stars of Ballina 2024 event! It was a night filled with energy, community spirit, and endless cheers—all in support of the Cancer Council. And guess what? Jade brought home the GOLD with the highest score of the night! 🏆💃✨
A Shining Performance
It’s hard to believe that not too long ago, Jade’s initial response to dancing was a firm “no.” But with a little encouragement—and a whole lot of courage—she took the stage in dazzling glittery tassels and delivered a performance that stunned everyone. The crowd loved it, the judges awarded top marks, and Jade danced away with first place!
Incredible Support from Our Dance Partner and Sponsors
A massive shout-out goes to Britt from JCDANCE, who generously donated her time, creativity, and choreographic brilliance to help Jade bring the routine to life. We truly couldn’t have done it without her guidance and talent.
A heartfelt thank you also goes out to our amazing sponsors:
Ballina Colour Copy for their unwavering support and encouragement.
Anytime Fitness Ballina for not only their sponsorship but their enthusiastic cheers that lifted our spirits on the big night.
Generosity in Action
Thanks to the incredible community support—your donations, cheers, and encouragement—the event raised a staggering $101,466 for the Cancer Council. That’s an amount we can all be proud of! It’s humbling to see what we can achieve when we come together to support a cause that touches so many lives.
From Doubt to Dazzle
Looking back, it’s inspiring to remember how Jade went from a hesitant “no” to literally dancing her way to the top spot. It’s a reminder that sometimes all it takes is a little push (and some sparkly tassels!) to discover talents you never knew you had.
Thank You, Ballina!
We’re beyond grateful to be part of such a supportive, vibrant, and generous community. From the dancers and sponsors to the families and friends who came out to watch, every single person contributed to this magical night—and made a real difference in the fight against cancer.
So here’s to courage, community, and a future filled with more shining moments. Thank you, Ballina, for making this year’s Stars of Ballina truly unforgettable.
