Fundraising Tips

Each dancer is required to raise at least $30 in donations.

Listed below are a variety of ways to raise money.

1. 1. Ask family, friends, and teachers for a donation.

   2. Get a coffee can, wrap a Mini-THON label around it and put it out at a business or your parent’s workplace. (Make sure the business owner knows who will be picking up the can so it does not get taken by someone else.)

   3. Online (DonorDrive) donations!!!—See directions above.

   4. Ask familiar people in your neighborhood for a donation.

   5. If you belong to any clubs or groups, ask them for a donation.

   6. Speak at your local churches and ask for donations.

      • Please email sgminithon@gmail.com if you plan on doing this, so we can make sure the same places are not being covered by multiple people.

   7. Put an announcement in the weekly bulletin and actually speak at all of the weekend services.

   8. Ask businesses to sponsor you.

      • Before you contact a business or company, check with Haley Rappoldt to make sure no one else is contacting them. If an official letter is needed, e-mail Haley (sgminithon@gmail.com).

Remember all donations will help a child battle cancer. Good Luck!

March 6, 2024 — Students will only receive a t-shirt if they submit all of the following by this date: online registration, permission & medical form, registration fee, and a minimum of $30 in donations.

REMINDER

The purpose of the Mini-THON is to raise money for Four Diamonds (conquering pediatric cancer).

• Every dancer/participant MUST submit at least $30 in donations. Online donations will automatically count toward your $30. Cash and check donations must be turned into the MS office or HS guidance office with a donation sheet.
