The Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County is proud to partner with Cary Curry for the 11th Dancing with the Celebrities charity fundraising competition!
Cary Curry is a longtime supporter and founder of two funds at the Community Foundation. Cary will be dancing this year to support the creation of a new Community Foundation endowment. The Curry Family Fund for a Compassionate & Caring Community will support activities that foster greater compassion in our community, such as initiatives for at-risk children and families, mentoring programs, and faith-based community support.
