Flash Mob to Benefit Camp Twin Lakes

If you’re looking for a way to have fun, get some exercise and help out a worthy cause, you might want to check out the Flash Mob scheduled for the Marietta Square at 1 p.m. today to benefit Camp Twin Lakes. 

The camp assists families and children who have been touched by emotional and physical distress due to illness, or are going through a period of grieving for a lost loved one. 

The camp is free and is in need of supplies in order to continue assisting families who are suffering. 

Cobb County students Matthew Schwartz, 13 and his sister Megan, 12, chose to host the fundraiser for Camp Twin Lakes after participating in a Family Camp following the loss of their uncle to cancer last October. 

Here’s how to participate: 

1. Go to www.atlantafeverent.com to learn the dance 

2. Collect an item to donate to Camp Twin Lakes, and bring it to the event.

3. Come to the Marietta Square at 12:45 Sunday, July 29, and when you hear the music by the center stage, come join in on the dance! 

4. Drop your donated item in one of the collection boxes.

Items needed include: tennis balls (in the unopened can), tennis rackets, sharpie markers, highlighters, golf pencils (the short ones), poster board, wooden beads, bandanas, tarps (10X10), face paint, carnival prizes (small dollar store toy), construction paper (all colors), jumbo markers, sidewalk chalk, pool noodles, and other “festive multi-use decorations.”
