When Ponte Vedra Beach resident Vickie Cavey was approached about participating in Jacksonville’s annual Dancing with the Stars (DWTS), her immediate response was an excited and emphatic “yes.” After retiring from JEA following 32 years of employment, Cavey was excited to help the event that benefits Jacksonville Children’s Chorus in any way possible — especially if it included dancing, one of her favorite activities.

Cavey has lived in the Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra Beach areas her entire life. She and her husband frequently watch the sunrise on the beach because Cavey loves mornings, and currently she spends her free time practicing yoga, enjoying water activities, and giving back to the community.
