Holloway crowned Grand Champion!
RIDGEFIELD – Cyndi Holloway dominated fundraising and rocked a Paso Doble with professional instructor Aaron Siebol Saturday night at ilani Casino Resort and finished the night with the Mirror Ball Trophy.
Holloway raised $19,082.50 to be crowned Grand Champion of Dancing with the Local Stars 2.0 – Legends, presented by Banner Bank. She also scored a perfect 40 from the judges on her dance.
“I am beyond ecstatic and grateful”, Holloway said. “I’m a competitive person by nature but when your boss walks in and reminds you there’s a company legacy at stake it makes it a whole different game. I honestly couldn’t have done it without the support of all my amazing teammates at Waste Connections and, of course, my wonderful family and friends.”
The event raised a total of $40,367 for the Rotary Club of Three Creeks’ community giving program. Last year, the event raised nearly $17,000 and the club awarded a $10,000 grant to the North County Community Food Bank. The club also sent a Three Creeks Rotarian to rural Mexico for the club’s first international service project, helping distribute shoes to children who didn't have shoes.
Azar Ghiasvand, with professional instructor Jack Lim, performed a remake of the salsa from the final dance scene in the movie Dirty Dancing. The pair completed both lifts from that dance bringing the sold-out crowd to its feet. Her performance drew a perfect score from the judges. She took home the Best Dancer award.
Ghiasvand, vice president and branch manager at Banner Bank’s Salmon Creek branch, also finished second in the fundraising with a total of nearly $8,000.
Holloway’s total includes a $1,000 bonus for raising the most funds on the night of the event. The bonus is the second of two provided by the generosity of Vancouver's John & Peggy Vanderkin.
“Raising money isn’t easy; I find myself always thinking of different ways of making a memorable experience for people while asking them to donate,” Holloway said. “Dancing with the Local Stars made this pretty darn easy, the community absolutely loved the event and couldn’t wait to help! I’m excited and honored to have set the bar for next year.” Eight Local Stars – Tracy Doriot (Doriot Construction), Azar Ghiasvand (Banner Bank), Cyndi Holloway (Waste Connections), Dianna Kretzschmar (Village Health Care), Schalk (Evergreen Public Schools), Daniel Spanski-Dreffin (Rotary Club of Three Creeks), Evan Strandberg (iQ Credit Union) and Jim West (Jim West Commercial Real Estate) – starred in the event, emceed by KGW TV’s Tim Gordon on March 7.
