Dancer Engagement Guide for Donors and Alumni

Although we cannot be together in person during THON Weekend, donors and alumni will have several opportunities to motivate and interact with dancers and students as we celebrate our yearlong fundraising efforts to conquer childhood cancer. 

Dancer Mail Call 

  • Write an encouraging message for a dancer to read during THON Weekend
  • Check out this resource for tips! 
  • You can address your mail to a specific dancer or we can give it to a random, lucky dancer
  • All Dancer Mail must be received by February 16 or postmarked by February 12
