The Hospitality House of Tulsa has raised $63,000 to with the help of local celebrity dancers!

On June 2, the Hospitality House held its 3rd annual "A Time To Dance With Our Stars" at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Ballroom. Over 200 people watched as local celebrities danced sporting flapper dresses and zoot suits, all to support the organization and raise money for families in medical crisis.

Channel 8's own, Laura Moss, and her dancing partner, Bobby Jordan, were awarded the "Best Onstage Chemistry" award. The grand prize, along with the mirror ball trophy and bragging rights, went to Michelle Lowry and Jeremy Wilson.

Toni Moore, Hospitality House President & CEO, said, "although each dancing couple won a well-deserved award that evening, the real winners are the families served by The Hospitality House of Tulsa, who benefit from the ‘home away from home' offered to them during their medical crisis."
