Dancing with the Stars
First Responder Edition.
Dancing with the Stars is Adam’s House annual signature fundraising event, bringing together families, community leaders, and supporters for an unforgettable evening of entertainment, inspiration, and hope. Funds raised help ensure our cornerstone grief support programs for children and families remain completely free of charge.
The 2026 event will take place on Friday, October 23, 2026 at the Fairfield Theatre Company.
Why Are We Spotlighting First Responders and Frontline Health Professionals?
Every day, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and Health professionals show up for families during life’s most difficult moments. This year, we’re inviting these hometown heroes to step onto a different kind of stage — the dance floor — to help grieving children and families find hope, healing, and connection.
Through this special First Responder Edition, we hope to strengthen positive relationships between children, families, and the first responders and frontline professionals who serve our communities with compassion and care.
Who will take home the title — Police Officers, Firefighters, EMTs/Paramedics or frontline health professionals?
Interested in Sponsoring Dancing with the Stars?
Your sponsorship helps ensure no grieving child has to navigate loss alone. Together, we can provide children and families with grief support, coping skills, resilience, and hope for a brighter future.
A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available and include recognition benefits and event tickets.
And the best part? This is a truly joyful evening filled with extraordinary performances, great people, and plenty of fun — all in support of an important cause. Join us!
