Trim Hunger founder Josif Wittnik is stepping onto the dance floor for an exciting new community fundraising event.
Just Dance 2026, an event presented by U.S. Venture is happening February 21, 2026, at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. Ten local dancers will take the stage, each raising funds for a nonprofit they care deeply about. Josif will be dancing and fundraising in support of Trim Hunger, continuing his dedication to fighting hunger throughout the Fox Cities.
This commitment goes far beyond the night of the performance. Josif has been rehearsing weekly with his partner and choreographer, Pamela, from Boogie Ballroom in Neenah. They have the perfect song, and are working out the steps each week. Pamela says they are in a comfortable place with about half of the routine.
Stepping out of his comfort zone and onto the dance floor
“It’s physically taxing, it’s mentally taxing,” says Pamela. “But I love this man so much. He has shown up consistently ready to work. He puts in the work at home, too, listening to the music and going through the steps in his head!”
Josif has set two ambitious goals for this effort: to raise $80,000 to help put more food on pantry shelves across the Fox Cities and to sell 100 tickets to the February event. He is seeking support from friends, community leaders, local businesses, and anyone who wants to help fund this mission.
There are two ways to support Josif and Trim Hunger. Community members can purchase tickets to attend Just Dance 2026 and cheer him on in person, or they can make a donation in support of his fundraising goal. One hundred percent of all donations go directly to supporting essential services for people in our community.
Dancing for a cause
Josif joined the nine other dancers at a kick-off event at the P.A.C. in late October. Each dancer will raise funds for a local nonprofit of their choice. In the end, that’s $800,000 going to organizations making a difference throughout the Fox Cities.
