Which Charity Organizations Are The Crews Helping On 'ABDC'?
As the "ABDC" Champions for Charity episode approaches, we thought you'd like to know who the all-star crews have teamed up with to help give back to their respective communities:
Poreotix has united with an organization called Everybody Dance Now! EDN! provides a healthy outlet away from the peer pressure of violence, drugs, alcohol and body image in the form of dance.
We Are Heroes has banded together with the Spartant Sparkles, the nation’s first cheerleading squad for students with special needs. The kids have disabilities ranging from Down syndrome to autism and cheer alongside other cheerleaders at school pep rallies, as well as home football and basketball games.
Quest Crew has been working alongside an inspirational youth who created a movie called "Say It Loud," which promotes the importance of education and having a “Plan B” when dreams of becoming a professional athlete, rapper or superstar fall short of the goal.
Super Cr3w has joined up with Marvelyn Brown, a girl who's HIV-positive and has spoken about the illness to half a million people around the world -- 200,000 of which went out and got tested for the disease after hearing her.
And finally, JabbaWockeeZ has been working with a cancer survivor who, after having his left leg amputated, went on to become a successful Paralympic skier and create a social networking site for amputees to ask questions, get answers and develop an active community.
