Our local venue has a volunteer running a "Skirt & Shirt" sale at dances to
benefit the venue. Clothing items are reasonably priced and they include
dance shoes as well. Exchanges are given a discount toward purchases. The
volunteer also prowls area yard sales and places like Savers & Goodwill for
stock.

Hi fellow shared weight organizers :)
Wearing my CDSS hat, I'm wondering ----> Does your dance have sources of
revenue BEYOND the door entry price???
A few great ideas were shared at the October CDSS Executive community
meeting in Toronto and we're looking for more! Do you have successful
experience with:
- sponsorships (individual/company/other)
- grants
- donations (collected at the dance OR one-off/ongoing donor programs)
- other fundraising (e.g., pie/cake sales anyone?)
- membership
- merch … that make money?
- special events … that make money?
- other?
I'm pulling together a curated collection of success stories on this
subject for CDSS that will then be shared back out early in the new year. I
would love to hear your ideas and if you know of someone I should talk to
about this, please let me know.
Thanks!
Emily
PS - I asked shared weight about posters/flyers last month and so wanted
to update you that that collection will be available in January. I'm just
waiting on a few more contributions.
