As a team building exercise for Corporates and a fabulous way to demonstrate corporate social responsibility, the Rotary Club of Sydney invites participation in “The Dance”, an exciting fundraising flashmob for ‘Rotary Kids Health’ and to support your chosen charity. This year will be the first of what we aim to be a major annual event. The idea is to bring CBD Sydney together to celebrate our good fortune to live in such a beautiful city with such a fantastic climate, where we can express our caring for others in such a healthy, liberating way. The theme for the Dance is ‘Your Cause, Your Dance, Your Way’ so that all Sydney-siders can own a piece of the action.
 
We have invited Charities to work with us towards our common goal of improving the lives of those we care about. Our RCS volunteers have organised the event and, in recognition, we hope that Charities don’t mind sharing 30% of the funds raised with ‘Rotary Kids Health’.
 
Rotarians and friends it is now time to dust off your dancing shoes and show that you really care about improving the lives of others. On “The Dance” website www.thedance.org.au  find out all about this fun-filled fundraising event where Sydney’s Martin Place will liven up with music and dance from a flash mob that includes you. If not you, then your representative, perhaps someone working in the CBD. Your involvement will help ensure a number of things:
 
•             Generate much needed funds for the many projects of Rotary under the banner ‘Rotary Kids Health’.
•             Show Rotary is a young, vibrant, all-inclusive organisation, teaming up with corporates and charities to support their favourite cause.
•             Reach a wider audience by harnessing the latest technologies and communications.
•             Start something really big, an annual event which will ultimately break records.
 
“The Dance” will eventually be Sydney’s largest flashmob, this year taking place at lunchtime in Martin Place on Friday 27th November 2015. Participants will be dancing to a choreographed routine for 3 minutes, sponsored by their network of family, friends and work colleagues.  “The Dance” will bring excitement and surprise to our streets, an energy that will be viewed on social media well into the future.
 
Improving the lives of children is the focus of ‘Rotary Kids Health’. Internationally, Rotary leads the way in the eradication of Polio from the world and the job is nearly done.  The Rotary Club of Sydney supports health and education programs in the Asia Pacific region as well as India and Africa. Locally our scholarships and personal development programs save disadvantaged kids from a life of misery and create a pathway for tomorrow’s young leaders.
