This year's "Dancing With Our Stars" didn't break any records, but a large amount of money was raised in the fight against cancer.

Saturday night's gala, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, brought in $256,680. A capacity crowd at the Julian Carroll Convention Center was on hand to witness local "stars" team with professional dance instructors.  

Jay Smith with Jim Smith Contracting was crowned as Grand Champion after raising $71,529. Smith was paired with dancer Ashley Henley and dedicated his win to both his grandfathers, who died from cancer.

Second place went to Conrad Love with McDonalds, who raised $41,180.

Heather Butterbaugh with A & K Construction finished third by raising $40,132. Butterbaugh was also the winner of the Crowd Pleaser Award.

Since its creation eleven years ago, "Dancing With Our Stars" has raised over two million dollars for cancer research.
