The animal shelter raise awareness of their efforts to win the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.
Who let the dogs out? On Tuesday afternoon, it was the Dearborn Animal Shelter, which brought human and four-legged supporters to the steps of Dearborn City Hall for a "100K Flash Mob." The flash mob invited staff, supporters and volunteers of the shelter to help shine the spotlight on their attempts to win the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Rachael Ray $100K Challenge.

Students danced to Katy Perry's "Firework" in public to promote acceptance of their peers.
A group of DuVall Elementary students and staff held flash mobs at a school function and during the Edison Street Sale over the weekend in an effort to "take a stand against bullying," according to their YouTube site. The third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students were joined by staff in performing a surprise dance routine to Katy Perry's hit song "Firework." Flash mobs are sudden, public gatherings or performances meant to make a statement–usually about a political or social issue, but sometimes just for fun or satirical purposes. According to the site, "They held a flash mob to 'Firework' ... because the song speaks about loving who you are. They worked on loving themselves and the differences in others.
