Fairfield MOMBies Thrill With Flash-Mob Performance: Video

FAIRFIELD, CT — One year after thrilling trick-or-treaters with a surprise flash-mob performance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” the Fairfield MOMbies treated residents with an encore performance on Halloween night. After last year’s performance garnered more than 36,000 views on YouTube, creator, founder, and MOMbie, Terry Davis was inspired to use the attention for a bigger cause.

“The 2017 MOMbies decided that this year’s dance will honor patients everywhere and raise funds for breast cancer research,” according to the group’s page on CrowdRise. “We dedicate this project to a dear friend and fellow MOMbie, as well as to all of the special people in each of our lives.”

More than $3,500 has been raised as of Wednesday afternoon (UPDATE: Nearly $9,700 has been raised as of early Saturday morning). Be sure to check out this year’s performance (with a couple of surprises around the 2-minute, 30-second mark) at the end of this story and visit the CrowdRise page here.

This year’s performance was choreographed and directed by Vincent Patino with videography by MJ Abiva, NinjaStealth Productions. Watch the 2016 performance here.
