They are a great example of 'Do what works for you' - the approach that this charity initiative takes to engage with a variety of different audiences from schools, business, community, religion and academia.There is no brief, you simply take an idea and make it happen. This Dance a Thon was the idea of Tori McKillen, Partner, Acteon Communication and Learning. When we first met, she said, 'I love music and have an amazing play list. I want to combine dance, fun, music and giving back.' The Danceathon was born. The money raised via sponsorship and donation will help and support local children and young people in need. The Dance a Thon raised £1,000 from sponsorship and donations which Acteon have matched with their £1000 contribution. The small team of volunteers that make up Cambridge Children's Charity Week send enthused appreciation to Acteon and all their colleagues for pulling off this tough challenge. It was great exercise and brought everyone together to have a lot of fun together for our cause - local children and young people in need. We thank you.
