The twelfth annual “Dancing with Our Stars” is set for Thursday, September 3, 2026 from 6 to 9:30 p.m. at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Noblesville with Community Health Network serving as the presenting sponsor for the sixth consecutive year.
Dancing with Our Stars continues to be Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County’s biggest fundraiser of the year with funds going directly to support the organization’s mission of delivering medically tailored meals to the elderly or those with disabilities, facing food insecurities, or unable to prepare food for themselves, for both short- and long-term needs in Hamilton County.
Join us for Dancing with Our Stars on September 3rd!
“It’s the only event where a few left feet can deliver thousands of meals,” says Jennifer Sturges, development and outreach director of Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County. “Our dancers are putting it all on the floor for Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County, and I couldn’t be prouder.”
This event features local professional dancers paired with some of Hamilton County’s most-recognizable residents competing for the ultimate prize of being titled “Dancing with Our Stars Champions 2026.” Audience members can also get into the action and vote for their favorite dancer or dancers to win the night’s People’s Choice Award. Each vote assists in bringing dancers closer to that title!
