On 27 October thousands of people in many cities around the world will join in ‘
Thrill the World’, an annual fundraising event to perform the dance moves to Michael
Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ at the same time.

 

Now in its seventh year, Thrill the World! has so far raised over $250,000 for over
500 humanitarian causes. It is led by a global team of volunteers.
