I was looking through all the posts today and noticed that there are at least 3 or 4 posts with the title "Dancing for a Cause". That just goes to show how many events there really are out there that use dance as a way to pull people in especially when charity is needed. I did some research and found this article actually called "Dancing for a Good Cause", which is about how $800. was raised for the Red Cross New Zealand Earthquake Appeal when Zumba hit Denman in March. Two Zumba classes were run at $10. per class and all the money raised went to Red Cross. Below is the article:

This got me to thinking about how dance could be used to raise money down south after the awful storm. What do you guys think? Do you think that could be one of the more effective ways to raise money?
I don't know if it will be a more effective way to raise money, but it is definitely a way to raise money and having charities funded through dance has the potential to bring in funds. Nowadays, most fundraisers are through concerts, so utilizing dance/dance lessons may gain as much popularity in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea! On our last day of class there was a slide about how dance can be used and philanthropy was one of them. I guess I never thought about it but then again a lot of the dance clubs at SU donate their money to charities. I don't know how much money could be raised but every dollar counts
