FUND RAISING

IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS

Start early!

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Phil 4:6

  • Rummage Sales
  • Bake Sales
  • Babysitting, Car Washing and Odd Jobs
  • Offer Ballet Birthday Parties. Pass out brochures to daycare centers, kindergardens, and churches
  • Dance for churches and youth groups for a love offering
  • Send Support Letters to friends and family telling them of your opportunity to train and worship at Ballet Magnificat! this summer and ask for contributions.
  • List Summer Workshop on your Christmas Wish List for family and friends.
  • If several from your school are attending the workshop, have a special performance by your group with proceeds or offerings being split among all of you.
  • Be creative!

Erin Beaver, Omega Company Tour Director and former Alpha Company Apprentice, came to Summer Workshop many summers during her teen years. Her mother also came as a counselor. Each year, they began early, raising the funds needed to cover the fees for both of them, and each year they were successful. Erin is from a small town in Texas, with limited fundraising opportunities, but she attributes her success to commiting her need to the Lord and trusing in His provision. She used some of the ideas listed above with success each year.

Every summer during workshop, we hear many stories from students of their successful fund raising that enabled them to come to workshop.

We want to encourage you to start early, work hard, and commit your efforts to God!
