Every year, this group of moms or ‘Mombies’ dance to raise donations for breast cancer research.
Terry Davis conceived and produced the Mombies. The Cancer Couch Foundation receives all the money it raises for metastatic breast cancer research.
The Mombies raised almost $170,000 when they started this project in 2016.
At least 50 mothers of all ages have been practicing professionally choreographed dances for upcoming events in preparation for the scary 2023 season.

“We are a group of moms who have lost our everyday personalities to become horrible zombies, wandering the streets for a cause bigger than ourselves,” they shared.
“We push ourselves beyond our comfort zone as we dance to raise donations for breast cancer research.”
Mombie’s website further stated, “Each performance is a fusion of fun, community and support, creating lasting memories and meaningful contributions to an important cause.”
“Imagine our neighbors’ shock and our children’s eyes widening when the zombies crept out of the bushes, driveways, and front porch! In our homemade costumes, we were eerily attractive as we broke the trick-or-treat routine and we take control of the street.”
“Unbeknownst to them, something much bigger was taking shape. The Mombie Movement was founded,” he continues.
