Jeffrey Hoess-Brooks to Perform in Dancing with the Local Stars Benefiting Cutchins

NORTHAMPTON — Cutchins Programs for Children & Families announced the return of its signature annual fundraiser, Dancing with the Local Stars, on Friday, April 17 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Hotel Northampton. This year’s event features a lineup of community leaders stepping onto the dance floor in support of children’s mental health — including Jeffrey Hoess-Brooks of HB Real Estate, who will perform as one of the evening’s featured dancers.

Hoess-Brooks, a well-known local business leader and active supporter of community organizations, shared that participating in this year’s event has given him “a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary work Cutchins does for children and families.” His performance will be part of the event’s Old Hollywood Glam theme, which includes choreographed routines, an elegant plated dinner, and a silent auction.

Dancing with the Local Stars has become one of Northampton’s most anticipated annual events, pairing local personalities with professional choreographers for an evening of entertainment and philanthropy. Funds raised directly support Cutchins’ trauma-informed mental health services, residential programs, outpatient care, and family-centered supports.

As a principal at HB Real Estate and a longtime advocate for community engagement, Hoess-Brooks brings both enthusiasm and heart to this year’s show. His involvement reflects a growing wave of local leaders who are stepping forward to champion mental health resources for young people across Western Massachusetts.
