SHARE THE GIFT OF DANCE!

As a dancer, you know well that feeling when after numerous hours of dance lessons, rehearsals, and hard work, you finally get a chance to put on your beautiful costume, step on the stage, and enter the world of silent poetry. Unfortunately, not everyone has the opportunity to have proper dance attire and beautiful costumes to perform in. That is where Dance Fairies comes in! We share the love for dance and bring that magic moment into the life of children who may otherwise never have a costume of their own.

After multiple recitals and competitions, dancers usually compile a pretty good amount of dance costumes that typically end up in their closets, taking up space and collecting dust. Dance Fairies' sole mission is to spread the joy of dance to aspiring young dancers in the community and around the world and give those costumes that have been hanging in the closets for years another chance to sparkle on the stage. Not only are we giving those costumes a second chance to sparkle on stage again, but we are sharing our love of dance with those less fortunate and also reducing the impact on environmental resources. Our "reuse and reduce" efforts have a direct positive impact on young aspiring dancers and global landfills at the same time.

Helping others is what truly matters in this world, and we endeavor to do more for the children of our community and children around the world, especially those affected by the war in Ukraine today. Being able to help children who come from many different backgrounds and have experienced many hardships, including emotional and physical trauma, and provide them with an opportunity to express themselves through dance is one of our goals.

At the moment, we are looking for passionate and self-motivated young individuals to join our team and represent Dance Fairies as an Ambassador! Someone who aspires to be their best self while inspiring others along the way. Does that sound like you? If so, we would LOVE to hear from you!

The Dance Fairies Ambassadors advocate for our organization by sharing on social media, fundraising, and hosting dance attire collection drives.

As an ambassador, not only will you develop skills of leadership, communication, and organization, but you will earn community service hours while sharing the love of dance with thousands of less privileged children in your community and around the world.

This program is done remotely, so ambassadors can participate from anywhere. The accepted ambassadors will receive support from our team via email, text alerts, and through our private Dance Fairies Ambassadors FB group page. In fact, we would love to have an Ambassador representing our organization in every state. This will allow us to reach as many deserving dancers as possible.

Dance Fairies has made a commitment this year to collect and redistribute 10,000 dance costumes to aspiring dancers. We are well on our way to reaching that goal, but we need your help! Become a part of our 2024 Giving Challenge! Help us reach more children this year with the gift of beautiful dancewear! The success of Dance Fairies' mission depends on YOU! We need YOU to help us create the magic of sharing the joy and love of DANCE! Your donation of costumes will bring happiness to others, but you will receive the greatest satisfaction in knowing that you have brought smiles to their faces.

Unfortunately, the shipping costs remain our number one expense and the most limiting factor in our ability to deliver dance costumes to children around the United States and the world. For this reason, we kindly ask all our donors who are donating their dance attire to consider making a small monetary donation to cover that shipping cost. It costs us around $3 per pound to ship internationally, and even shipping to the schools here in the US is almost the same price. If you were so kind as to help us with that, it would allow us to get those costumes faster into the hands of children anxiously waiting for them, and it would be greatly appreciated.

Please consider donating to help us defray the mailing cost and get these costumes to their new homes. The monetary donation to our organization can be easily made through Venmo @dance_fairies, Paypal contact@dancefairies.org, or at Go Fund Me by following this link https://www.gofundme.com/f/j44cpc-sharing-the-love-of-dance. We would be so grateful if you joined us in spreading the joy of dance by donating today!

About DANCE FAIRIES

Location:

309 Menger Spgs, Boerne, TX 78006, US

Mission Statement

Dance Fairies is registered 501(c)(3), a non-profit organization that collects gently used and new dance wear, including costumes and shoes of all kinds, and donates them to aspiring dancers in need around the world in hope of providing them with the access to proper dance attire to follow their dreams and dance passion.

Description

After the performances and competitions, dance costumes usually end up in closets taking up space and collecting dust. This is where the Dance Fairies organization comes in! Not only are we giving those costumes a second chance to sparkle on stage again, but we are sharing our love of dance with those less fortunate and also reducing the impact on environmental resources. The production of textiles is exhaustive on resources like land, water, and energy throughout the manufacturing and transportation process and is a significant contributor to pollution in waterways. Therefore, our "reuse and reduce" efforts have a direct positive impact on young aspiring dancers and global landfills. Not only is reusing costumes cost-effective and good for the environment, but it sometimes can add extra meaning and significance to a performer when they are able to dance wearing the same costume as a dancer who generously donated it.

Over five years ago, since we embarked on our journey, we were able to collect and re-distribute thousands of gently used costumes, leotards, and all types of dance attire to aspiring dancers near and far. Helping others is what truly matters to us, and we endeavor to do more, not only for the children of our community but also for children around the world, especially those in Ukraine today. Being able to help children who come from many different backgrounds and have experienced many hardships, including emotional and physical trauma, and provide them with an opportunity to express themselves through dance is one of our goals.
