Two thousand guests at a Tipping Point Community annual fundraising event were treated
to a flash mob of dancers. The evening raised over $6.5m.

 

The aim of the flash mob was to encourage guests to sit down to dinner.

The flash mob dancers were themselves staff members, board members, and volunteers,
and they had practised the dance in secret for a month before the annual gala event.
