Good Samaritan has been an amazing sponsor for our fundraising event each year! If not for their support, Dancing with the Vincennes Stars may have never happened! From CEO Rob McLin's support of the Wabash Valley Friendship Clubhouse and its mission, to being one of the first competitors, Good Samaritan and its staff have been a huge part of this event.

Not only did we twist Rob's arm to be a competitor that first year, but we had also to convince Marketing and Public Relations Director Tiffany Conover, that being a competitor for DWTVS would be as easy as cross-fit classes! Both Tiffany and Rob gave incredible performances that night and helped generate the second most amount of funds raised ever!

Both Rob and Tiffany have returned to cheer on competitors each year and continues to advocate for the Clubhouse. We are eternally grateful to both for the support they provide to the Wabash Valley Friendship Clubhouse! Thank you, Good Samaritan, Rob, and Tiffany! We hope to see you again at next year's fundraiser!

We would like to thank Bestway Express, Inc. for their continued support of our Dancing with the Vincennes Stars fundraiser!

Not only has Bestway Express and Bestway Express' President and CEO Eli McCormick supported and attended all four fundraisers, but his family has also been involved as well!

Daughter Brynn has performed during intermission with the Triple Threat Talent Dance of Vincennes each year. Kaleena, Eli's wife, had such a great time at the first event she decided she wanted to be a competitor in the next event! Not only did she compete, but she was also the Grand Champion and received the Mirror Ball Trophy! This is when their son Carson fell in love with the event! Kaleena's parents were also there to cheer her on and they too are annual attendees! This year Kaleena was a back-up dancer to her friend, and 2025 competitor, Megan Davis.

Thank you Bestway Express and thank you Kaleena, Eli, Carson, and Brynn! The Wabash Valley Friendship Clubhouse is eternally grateful for your support!
