Dancing For The Space Coast

  • Florida Tech Clemente Center 3011 Panther Place Melbourne, FL, 32901 United States (map)

We are so thrilled to share the exciting news that The Astronauts Memorial Foundation has been named one of three beneficiaries for the 9th Annual Dancing for the Space Coast 2023! Known as the largest fundraising event in Brevard County, Dancing for the Space Coast is a unique competition and fundraiser that benefits worthy non-profit organizations on the Space Coast. This exciting event hosted by the Brevard County Sheriff's Office Charities teams up local celebrities with dance professionals in a ballroom dance competition that consistently raises over $400,000.

Mark your calendar to join us on Saturday, June 3 at 5:30 pm in the Clemente Center at Florida Tech to share in this incredible evening of fine dining, dance competition, live auction and entertainment, all while supporting AMF.

All competitors dedicate their time and talents taking dance lessons and also diligently raise money as part of the competition. Our very own Winston Scott, AMF Board of Advisors Member, will be competing as celebrity dancer for The Astronauts Memorial Foundation, and we invite all of you to join us in support of AMF and Captain Scott's stellar lifetime achievements!

Every AMF-affiliated dollar raised from sales of ticket purchases, table/corporate sponsorships, donations, or auction items counts towards Winston's points and adds to the total funds raised for all charities. How can YOU be part of this special evening and support? Join us!

AMF welcomes your support at this exciting event by purchasing a table sponsorship, corporate sponsorship, making a donation to Winston's STARS, or by attending our VIP Meet & Greet on Friday, June 2. At this special evening event, you can expect exclusive appearances by astronauts as well as by Stephanie & Pasha at a beautiful private residence in Florida.  

Thanks to AMF coordination, all guests at Dancing for the Space Coast will be treated to a special exhibition performance by local celebrity and 2010 "Dancing with Brevard" winner Stephanie Haridopolos with professional ballroom dancer Pasha Pashkov of ABC Network's "Dancing with the Stars". Stephanie has been rehearsing with Pasha himself in Los Angeles in recent weeks to prepare for the performance, and we are thrilled how this exclusive experience will enhance the main event.

Winston and his pro partner Shirin from Melbourne Ballroom are hard at work rehearsing some "out of this world" choreography for an upbeat Foxtrot performance that you will surely not want to miss! Every AMF-affiliated guest receives an exclusive swag bag and is also entered to win a space-themed weekend getaway experience on the Space Coast, courtesy of AMF, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Banana River Waterfront Resort.
