💛 Thank you for dancing with us! 💛

Because of you, Dance Against Dementia 2025 raised over $22,000 to support Umbrella Dementia Cafés, creating safe, welcoming spaces for people living with dementia and their carers.

Every dance, donation, and act of kindness made this possible.

We’re so grateful for your support and can’t wait to do it all again next year.

Even better, they exceeded their fundraising goal, raising an amazing total of $529 for Umbrella Dementia Cafes. What a wonderful achievement!
