It's A Wrap!
16th Dancing with the Kansas City Stars a Record-Breaker
Proving that the beat does go on, the 16th Dancing with the Kansas City Stars was a rousing success for the students of Cristo Rey. Honorary Chairs Matt Sharples and Christina Ricci inspired more than 1,000 guests to pack the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel at Crown Center. Without skipping a beat, the event raised more than
$1.2 million in critically-needed funds for Cristo Rey.
Headlining the evening was the all-star dance competition featuring: Tara Ard, Jeff Cathey, Eric Guettermann, Andrew Marquardt, Alise Martiny, Alex Couchonnal McManus, Alena Prenger and Bradley Wiedeman. Cristo Rey’s Elite 8 were a crowd-pleasing line-up that did not disappoint.
Three cheers for our award-winning Stars and their professional partners:

  • Grand Prize - Eric Guettermann and Laura Szymanski
  • First Runner Up - Bradley Wiedeman and Elizabeth Watkins
  • Second Runner Up - Alex Couchonnal McManus and Rafael Labrado
  • Judges' Choice - Tara Ard and Harrison Berrgren

The good glue that held the event together was Fox 4's Kathy Quinn as Mistress of Ceremonies and the esteemed panel of judges - Shawn Tyler, Kate O'Keefe, Kevin Ryan, and the social media phenomenon John Drury, The Dancing Trucker.

See you in 2023 on March 25th! It's going to be epic.
