Who are the stars?
Alisen Sanders
Alisen Sanders is a native of San Angelo. When Sanders was a principal at Austin Elementary, West Texas Rehab worked with her to help create an occupational therapy room for students that were being seen at the school. Sanders said that her friends know that even though this event is for fun, she will take it seriously. "I'm going to take all of this very seriously," she said.
Daniel Lui
Daniel Lui explained that he strongly believes in the mission of Hospice of San Angelo. "It is the only local nonprofit hospice provider for San Angelo and the surrounding Concho Valley," Daniel said. Daniel explained that he hopes he will avoid the most disaster when taking the stage for the 2024 Dancing With the San Angelo Stars event.
Flor Leos
Although Flor Leos was a little bit hesitant about joining Dancing With the San Angelo Stars, she went to her dad to for his advice. He told her, with teary eyes, that she needed to do it for what Hospice of San Angelo did for him and her mom. "Now we know firsthand the beautiful work that hospice does," said Flor.
Kelley Cole
Kelley Cole, a dental hygienist, shared that Hospice of San Angelo and West Texas Rehab are near and dear to her heart. She attended West Texas Rehab herself to receive treatments on her hands. Kelley explained that her 94-year-old mom used hospice and rehab to "keep her dignity and composure," along with feeling physically fit.
Kristina Mikeska
Kristina Mikeska said "yes" when she was asked to participate in Dancing With the San Angelo Stars because she wanted to be a part of something to give back to the community and she wanted to step out of her comfort zone. Kristian explained that she was nervous to get up on stage but is excited to be in such a fun event.
Madison Thomas
Madison Thomas, who has been in San Angelo for the past two years, was introduced to Dancing With the San Angelo Stars through her brother. She shared that getting up on stage and dancing is more in her realm than doing an interview for her introduction.
Mason McClintock
Mason McClintock, who is an orthodontist in San Angelo, was asked to participate in the 2024 Dancing With the San Angelo Stars after receiving a call. After watching the previous show, he saw how entertaining and about the money the show raised every year. "It was going to be very hard to say no."
Quentin Williams
Tom Green County Sheriff Mental Health Sgt. Quentin Williams shared that he often responds to calls for individuals who need help and need services through hospice and counseling. "I am shy but like I said once I get going I think I'll have a lot of fun up there," he said.
Reese Montgomery
Reese Montgomery explained that he is thoroughly excited to help raise money for Hospice of San Angelo because his grandfather was in hospice in Abilene. "I appreciate all the workers and just the care they show to people they don't even know," he said. Reese said that he is looking forward to his friends and family getting the chance to watch him on the stage.
Rode Biggs
Rode Biggs jokingly said he still was not sure why he decided "yes" to Dancing With the San Angelo Stars. "No, I'm kidding," he shared. "It's a great cause. It means a lot to me and my family so it's hard not to say yes to something like that." Rode explained that his family recently utilized Hospice of San Angelo and that his son went to West Texas Rehab for speech, OT and PT early in his life.
