Outdoor Dance Fundraiser

There are so many different types of dance, welcome for anyone to embrace. One style of dance that has become more popular recently is Bollywood. This type of dance is primarily modeled by Indian dance. You might recognize Bollywood from the movie "Slumdog Millionaire."

When browsing Projo.com I came across an article titled "Outdoor Dance Workout puts the 'Fun' in Fundraiser." I was immediately drawn in and had to read it. Come to find out, supporters and fundraisers of the Adopt a Doctor organization gathered at the Roger Williams National Memorial Saturday, April 3rd. Twenty-three people attended and each paid three dollars to participate in the popular dance routine from the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire."
The fundraisers posted the video to YouTube afterwards hoping that the video would raise thousands of dollars for underpaid doctors in Africa.

President and founder of the Adopt a Doctor organization says, "We're trying to save lives and give people a new beginning." He also says that in Sierra Leone and Liberia, physicians make as little as $1,500 a year. The Providence based Adopt a Doctor helps pay the salaries of 18 doctors in Africa, but some 4,000 need financial assistance.



I love how dance can help raise money for such amazing causes. Dance is fun for everyone and it's such an inspiring way to try to raise money. I would love to see more of these types of fundraisers!
