APPLETON, WIS. — Ten community members are stepping into the spotlight for Just Dance, a unique fundraising event that pairs local leaders with professional dancers.
The event celebrates courage, dedication, and heart — all while raising money for causes that make a difference across the Fox Valley.
Hayley Tenpas will dance for the Building for Kids
The live performances are scheduled for February 21.
This year’s cast features ten dancers, each supporting a local nonprofit organization. Among them is WHBY’s own Hayley Tenpas, who will take the stage to raise funds for the Building for Kids Children’s Museum.
“The Building for Kids has been such a special place for my family — and for so many others in the Fox Valley,” Hayley shares. “Funds raised will ensure all families have access to the critical, intergenerational, play-based learning opportunities offered by the BFK.”
The ten participating dancers and their nonprofits are,
- Megan Biese, U.S. Venture – Bubolz Nature Preserve
- Rayon Brown, FVTC – Children’s Cancer Family Foundation
- Hayley Tenpas, WHBY – Building for Kids Children’s Museum
- Angie Lee, Rawhide – Rawhide Youth Services
- Josif Wittnik, Salon Professional Academy – Trim Hunger
- Nikki Voelzke, A2Z The Agency – Harbor House
- Heather Beresford, Plexus Corp. – Fox Cities P.A.C.
- Jodie Larsen, Oshkosh Corporation – Feeding America Eastern WI
- Jake Bergstrom, Bergstrom Automotive – Boys & Girls Brigade
- Kathi Seifert, Katapult Group – Fox Valley Humane Association
Over the next several months, dancers will raise funds and rehearse a ballroom routine to be performed live on February 21, 2026, at the Fox Cities P.A.C.
The U.S. Venture/Schmidt Family Foundation is underwriting the expenses of the event so 100% of the donations support the nonprofits.
