Campaign Update! One Week Left!

December 20, 2017

On behalf of the 11 talented young women on the 2017-2018 Duquesne University Dance Team, THANK YOU for supporting our journey to Nationals! Because of your generosity, we have already raised $6,525 from a total of 46 donors! With just one week left, we are making a final push to raise the remaining $3,475. Every dollar is critical, and will directly cover our travel and competition expenses. 

 

You can help us hit our $10,000 goal in time by reaching Dukes fans, alumni, friends and family in your online network or in person. Please take a moment to share our campaign. Simply:

 

1.     Send an e-mail or text to anyone who might be interested in donating and tell them to visit: www.spirit.duq.edu/dance17

2.     Take a moment to post the link on Facebook or Twitter: www.spirit.duq.edu/dance17

 

This extra promotion will go a long way in helping us reach our goal by Wednesday, December 27. 

 

We are so appreciative and humbled by your support. Without you, this opportunity would not be possible. 

 

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season,
