Annual Friends of Dance Fundraiser- September 4th-14th, 2018
What is the purpose of the Friends of Dance Fundraiser?
The SAA Department of Dance does not receive any state funding, so the Friends of Dance Fundraiser is our major fundraising activity that we participate in each school year. Our past Fundraisers help make significant improvements in our department, as well as purchase items needed to produce our two concerts next year. Last year the dancers raised $20,000 from the Annual Campaign.
What do we sell?
Of course we sell Friends of Dance Subscriptions! Subscribers not only receive program recognition at all of our concerts but, they may (based on donation level) also be eligible for ad space in our full color program and complimentary tickets to our performances. All donations are 100% tax deductible and all of the funds raised go directly to the department.
Who Participates?
We require ALL DANCE MAJORS to participate in the fundraiser. We STRONGLY encourage all dancers to sell at least 10 Subscriptions. Prizes are awarded to the top selling class, in addition to the top three individualsellers. Parents will play a special role in helping collect items after sales week.
What do we do with the funds?
We use the funds from Friends of Dance, to support the department in the following ways:
Perishable Production Costs- Costumes,lighting instruments & gels,set design, backdrops, Marley Floor tape, music scores,
advertisement, printing materials, etc.
