Nationally there is a viral video challenge going on called #DoTheShiggy.
Footage is being captured all over the community but one featured video is a gem because it features Nick Dodgson, local entrepreneur and founder of the Wheels for Charity Non-Profit. To launch the reveal of their new Cheyenne Wheels for Charity vehicle the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, along with Nick Dodgson participated in the #DoTheShiggy dance.
“It was fitting to reveal that we have launched ticket sales for the new Cheyenne Wheels for Charity vehicle, a 1942 Ford Coupe, by doing a dance entailing a car moving.” Shared Stephanie Joy Meisner-Maggard, Vice President of the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce, “Ultimately the fundraiser is to spread awareness about the three organizations benefiting from the ticket sales and to raise lots of money!”
To get the ball rolling the Chamber challenged K9s for Mobility and Safe House of Cheyenne to do the challenge, these are fellow beneficiaries of the proceeds. Additionally, they challenged United Way of Laramie County because they support an array of organizations throughout the year throughout the community.
