In a landmark "ABDC" event, ALL five previous "ABDC"-winning crews will return to perform and to honor five of DoSomething.org's most dedicated young social activists for their incredible contributions to their communities. "America's Best Dance Crew" and DoSomething.org will highlight the causes of these five young people, and the network will reward each of their organizations with cash donations to help augment their efforts. The JabbaWockeeZ, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, We Are Heroes and Poreotix will perform together and will also be partnered with a youth volunteer whose charity they will learn about through hands-on work with the organization, later performing exhibition routines in their honor.
