CVCJ Stars "Just Dance, Dance, Dance"

Toms River, NJ (February 16, 2018) Couples who love to dance are kicking up their heels in support of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey’s fourth annual Dancing with Their Stars competition. From the macarena to ballroom, the night is sure to produce “oohs” and “aahs” as competitors break out their best moves.

CVCJ provides vital assistance to seniors, the elderly disabled, veterans, individuals with dementia, and caregivers of loved ones with chronic illness to allow them to remain independent in their own homes. All services are free of charge and delivered by 1,200 volunteers to over 2,500 Ocean and Monmouth County residents over the age of 60, who no longer drive. The Caregiver Canines^® program brings certified therapy dogs to the private residences of dog-loving seniors who can no longer care for a pet. To learn more about CVC’s mission, visit www.caregivervolunteers.org, or call 732-505-2273.

Seven couples are slated to compete for CVCJ’s mirror ball trophy on April 19, 2018. The event takes place from 6-10 p.m. at Eagle Oaks Golf Club, 20 Shore Oaks Drive, Farmingdale, NJ 07747. The judges for this year’s event are last year’s winning couple, Tracey and Roland Rodriguez, and the 2018 CVCJ Champion, Mark Kotzas of Crossroads Realty.
