DANCE FOR A GOOD CAUSE

-

TOOWOOMBA residents have been encouraged to lace up their dancing shoes and take part in the inaugural national Dance for Sick Kids fundraiser on May 15 – 21.

From this month, residents can register for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) inaugural national Dance for Sick Kids fundraiser, a week-long dance challenge to raise money for seriously ill and injured children and their families across the country.

RMHC is calling on all Aussies to get involved by pledging to dance between 30 – 120 minutes per day for one week, with all funds raised going back to those in need.

With a line up of virtual workshops from choreograp­her to the stars Marko Panzic and 2020 Dancing with the Stars winning dance partner Jarryd Byrne, Dance for Sick Kids welcomes all skill levels, ages and stages to bust a move.

“We’re calling on everyone – from individual­s to dance troops, community groups and schools – to take part in our virtual fundraiser,” Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia Chief Executive Officer Barbara Ryan said.

“The past year has been especially tough for the families of seriously ill or injured children, and as a charity we are constantly adapting the way we operate to continue to support these families.”

“Whether it’s grooving at home on your own or in the office as a group, we need Aussies to put their dancing shoes on and get involved in this meaningful cause.”

REGISTRATI­ONS ARE NOW OPEN AND WILL CLOSE ON MAY 14 AT WWW.DANCEFORSI­CKKIDS.COM
