Being 15 at the time, a school project turned into a fundraising event that I felt important to carry on. The performance night consists of a number of dance schools performing their best dances, a small amount of very talented solo acts and one or two singing show pleasers. The event also offers snacks and drinks, games and prizes and a fun MC to guide the night. To ensure the focus does not deflect from the cause we are raising awareness for, a guest speaker from the foundation will attend and make a brief keynote on the charity, the importance of being aware and thanking the dancers and supporters for their contribution. Funds raised through tickets, purchases on the night and other such donations go towards the chosen charity. We have fundraised for Make A Wish Foundation, Royal Children’s Hospital and The Australian Lung Foundation. In 2020 we gained five amazing sponsors who supported our show and hope to further this. Unfortunately, this year’s show was cancelled due to Covid-19, however much more is being planned for our 2021 show.
