With dementia being the second leading cause of death in Australia, the team at CareToDance and Dementia Australia partnered to host the first Annual Dance For Dementia Inner West Gala Ball on the 31 May. The objective was to raise funds for Dementia Australia and their research team to help the many Australians affected by dementia.
Eleven brave local business owners and community leaders volunteered to dance for the cause. The group trained for months, perfecting their routines, and performed courageously on the night in front of more than 400 attendees. With the help of the fabulous CareToDance instructors their talents
shone through on the night.
More than $110,000 was raised through donations, raffles and support from many local businesses, and major sponsor DeLorenzo. The night was full of fun, smiles, dancing and spectacular entertainment all in the name of working towards a more comfortable lifestyle for everyone affected by dementia.
The night was proudly sponsored by De Lorenzo.
