The event will run in conjunction with Wagga Takes Two and the Cancer Council's Relay For Life, raising funds to help fight cancer.
Aleasha Potts, competing in the Wagga Takes Two competition, chose the Relay For Life fundraising as her charity for the program, and organised the disco event to help raise money.
Cancer Council's community relations coordinator Christine Williams said they were excited to get Aleasha and the next generation of helpers on board.
"The Cancer Council NSW is delighted that Aleasha has chosen us via her Relay for Life fundraising as her charity in Wagga Wagga Takes Two," she said.
"By hosting a disco for primary school aged children, Aleasha is introducing them to the Cancer Council, if they didn’t already know about it, and ultimately we would like to see these kids become our future Relay for Life participants, volunteers or fundraisers."
Ms Williams said the money raised will go towards a number of areas helping those with cancer.
"Fundraising for Cancer Council NSW goes towards local programs such as Transport to Treatment which provides free transport for cancer patients to access their treatment, telephone support, financial assistance and accommodation as well as the bigger picture of research, prevention and advocacy," she said.
"But on a fun note, I’m looking forward to watching the Cancer Council NSW’s mascot, Dougal the Bear, hit the dance floor with the kids."
With dancing, sausage sizzles, and prizes to be won, children can enjoy the atmosphere all while helping a good cause.
