The second American Cancer Society fundraiser “Dancing for the Stars” will be held Nov. 7 at the Marriott Hotel in Coralville.

Twelve eastern Iowa celebrities are expected to attend the event, which supports the Russell and Ann Gerdin American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Iowa City.

The Hope Lodge, located west of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, provides free lodging for families who have traveled long distances for cancer treatment.

The event will include a dinner, reception, live auction, and special speakers. An individual ticket to the gala is $100; reservations must be made by Nov. 5.
