Reflections

"Flash Mobs for Charity" was such a rewarding experience from beginning to end. Though only part of the end goal was reached, much was learned throughout this journey. The challenges were honestly the best part. Some of the challenges of this project caused the original plan to perform in various malls in the Salt Lake area of Utah, at the mall in St. George, Utah, and at SUU to be switched up. Through these alterations and hearing an outsiders perspective from others about the project I was able to see that there were also other ways that I could have had a better outcome in terms of the amount of donations received. It was also a pleasure to have worked with so many wonderful people include the two SUU faculty members who helped out with one of the performances.

The intention was to help raise awareness of these organization and what they represent to those that viewed the performances but it was also the performers as well as the choreographer who benefited from this experience. One of the performers informed the group about the National Ataxia Foundation and what Ataxia was which in turn made it so this was the fourth organization money was raised for. Each one of dancers were also willing to take part in this project as a result of the information received the stance these organization were taking. Such a blessing!

This project has actually fueled my fire to want to keep raising money through the utilization of the aspect of my life that I love.
