BRISTOL, AVON, UNITED KINGDOM, April 18, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GDS Group dances the dance to fundraising success for ‘Above and Beyond’ and ‘Send a Cow’ charities.

As part of their annual fundraising events, GDS Group took up the challenge to choreograph and record music videos for some chart-topping hits across their Bristol and New York offices. This ‘Dance Off’ was in aid of two fantastic charities based in the South West of England, Above and Beyond and Send a Cow.

After hours of rehearsing under the tuition of some of Bristol’s gifted dance choreographers, GDS Group hit the streets of Bristol on a wet and chilly December day with video crew in tow to record their master pieces.
After they pledged 50 pence per view received, their chosen charities benefited greatly in the public viewing their videos, resulting in total views of 3202 across the 4 videos.

Once the dust had settled and the dancing shoes were removed, GDS Group is delighted to report that they have raised an astonishing £1,601 that had been divided between these two charities to help them continue their worthy causes.
Becky Moorcroft, Corporate Partnerships Manager of Send a Cow, commented:
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the amazing efforts of the singing and dancing GDS group staff in support of Send A Cow. I can assure you that the GDS Group donation will make a real difference to people living in poverty and hunger in Africa.”
