Every February, Sevier County packs a ballroom to watch neighbors it already knows take a stage they've never stood on before. Local couples train for months with professional choreographers. Three judges score them. The audience votes with their wallets. And by the end of the night, hundreds of thousands of dollars go to work in the community that raised it.
Last season, the event brought in more than $566,000 — with a generous match from Dolly Parton — for United Way of Sevier County and the twenty partner agencies it funds.
Sponsors make that night possible. In return, they get their name in front of 450 guests in the room, everyone watching the livestream, and the whole county following the campaign for months beforehand.
Why This One Is Worth Your Marketing Budget
It's a season, not a night.
Star Couples fundraise for months before the show. Their events, their social posts, their local press coverage — the campaign runs from announcement through the final curtain, and sponsor brands ride along the whole way.
The audience is the county's decision-makers.
Business owners, elected officials, agency directors, and the families who have supported this event for nine years. These are the rooms where local reputations are built.
Every dollar stays home.
This isn't a national campaign with a local footnote. Funds raised go to United Way of Sevier County and the twenty agencies serving your employees, customers, and neighbors.
