Dancing in all the best Irish Bars in Manhattan, while raising money for costumes and travel for dancers in the Niall O’Leary School of Irish Dance
Funds are collected in three ways:
- Each dancer taking part in the Dance Marathon gets a sponsorship form. The form invites people to sponsor an individual dancer taking part in the event.
- After the performance in each bar, a hat is passed around, inviting patrons to make a contribution.
- Bar owners/managers are invited to make a contribution-typical donations range from $300 to $500. This has a strong bearing on the itinerary!
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
- Show up to watch us dance!
- Please consider sponsoring a dancer
- Tell all your friends and neighbors about it so they can either sponsor a dancer or show up on the day and contribute when the hat is passed around!
- If you know any pub or restaurant that we should put on our route please tell us.
- If you have any friends in the bar business in Manhattan please ask them if they would be interested in hosting us and sponsoring our event and let us know!
- If you know anyone who owns or works at any bars in Manhattan, please let us know asap!
WHAT ARE WE FUNDRAISING FOR?
All participants are eligible to apply for funding. All money raised is put towards offsetting the cost of costumes and travel expenses to and from selected competitions and performances. At least 75% of the total money raised will be put towards travel to Scotand for the World Irish Dance Championships 2024…we will also keep some money aside for other events to be determined—suggestions welcome! The remaining money will be put into a costume fund, so all in the school who participate in our fundraising events will be able to afford the class costume. If you have any questions, please email nynynol@yahoo.com
Thank you so much for your contribution to our fund!
