Candy Bags
Selling candy bags is one of the simplest yet greatest methods to fundraise for Dance Marathon. Usually every Wednesday during W.H.O Club meetings, you can sign out a bag of candy worth $15. Sell the tasty candy to your friends, family, teachers or even strangers. As soon as you finish selling all you candy, return the money and half the money collected will go to your Dance Marathon fundraising account.
Canning
Canning is probably the most social and fun way to make money for Dance Marathon! The act of canning involves wearing a famous Dance Marathon shirt, grabbing a DM can, and going to the stores and restaurants of Skokie, Morton Grove, Niles, and Evanston (and many more locations) to ask complete strangers to support DM. District 219 Dance Marathon must have permission and pre-set dates in order to can. DM 2020-2021 canning dates are always emailed out.
All canners should wear Dance Marathon gear and carry cans that display our charity, GirlForward. While canning, always be courteous and sincere to those who donate. You should try to explain the charity and the ways District 219 will provide help to the charity. In addition, explain our annual night and the many events we host throughout the year. Canning is about smiling and having fun to raise money, so have a great time and good luck!
