DANCERS CARE FOUNDATION STUDIO ASSISTANCE APPLICATION DURING COVID-19 »

Get Involved & Fundraising

There are many ways to help Dancers Care Foundation become the No. 1 foundation for dancers and dance-related companies who are passionate about raising money for cancer. Below are some inspiring fundraising ideas put together by you, our devotees, and there’s something for every member of the dance community: Dancers, Dance Studios, Competitions and Conventions, Dancewear Manufacturers, Costume Manufacturers, Dance Retail Stores, Choreographers and Master Teachers.

Dance Studios That Care

Hold a “Performance Night Benefit Gala” 
Studios from the same area join together in a collaborative effort to show that dancers care. Each studio performs 5-7 pieces aiming to make it a fun and fundraising event. Ticket sales will account for most of the money raised, but you can also have a raffle and sell items like snacks, baked goods and merchandise. We will gladly assist you in this endeavor.

Host master class “workshops” and donate funds directly to Dancers Care Foundation
Studios can host a master class and donate a portion of funds or all funds to Dancers Care Foundation to raise awareness.

Participate in our “Dance for a New Day Choreography Contest”
Dancers and studios can upload a 1 minute youtube clip of choreography to our song “New Day” and become involved in one of the largest video fundraising efforts in dance. Click here for details.

Send out our fundraising letter
This is the easiest way to help raise funds. We send you a pre-written fundraising letter that you can send to relatives, neighbors and local businesses for a tax-deductible donation in the name of your studio or school. Businesses can make direct donations.

Sell pink bracelets or Dancers Care pins
We send you the special bracelets and pins; you sell them at your studio for a minimum donation.

Your ideas can help inspire others. Email us now and tell us what you’ve done—or want to do—for the cause.
