We first caught wind of Dance for Abilities earlier this year when the organisation, which originally launched in Sydney, brought its one-night-only party — designed for people with intellectual disabilities — to Auckland. Held at Everybody’s on Fort Lane, the event was a huge success with 150 people turning up to get down and have a good time. Wanting to further their efforts, however, the organisers are embarking on a second event Jungle Mania this time at The Lula Inn on Wednesday 1st August and again they need your help. DFA is a free event and in order to pull it off, the team are relying on donations via a Give A Little page. Still a little way off their target, we encourage you to watch the video below (we guarantee it will lift your spirits) and donate… because everyone deserves the right to party. Every $35 will cover the cost of dinner and entertainment for one guest and this time, they hope to get 200 guests there. Let’s help them kick some goals.
