TDC Boosters Fundraising Overview

TDC Boosters will coordinate and facilitate a number of Fundraising opportunities to support both individual dancers as well as the overall studio. There will be two types of fundraisers:

• Individual Fundraisers
  • Examples: Lynde's, Butterbraids, Greenery sales, etc.
  • Profit Structure: 90% to individual, 10% to TDC Boosters general fund
  • Individual Fundraising profits can be used towards any non-tuition related dance expenses, ie: comp/convention fees, costumes, shoes, make-up, travel expenses, etc.
  • Once funds have been earned, you can request reimbursement from your TDC Booster account using the reimbursement form found HERE

Fundraising FAQs

• Why is there money going to the General Fund?
  • In lieu of a Booster fee, we fund TDC Boosters through General Fundraising initiatives.
  • Ultimately the goal is to benefit ALL dancers at TDC by ensuring that we create a solvent, legal non-profit organization that is transparent and efficient. There are fixed costs associated with this, but it is necessary for Boosters to be viable and sustainable long-term. We are also committed to supporting dancers through an annual studio enhancement gift, studio community building and Teacher Appreciation activities. 
• What happens at the end of the year if I haven't used my funds? 
  • If you are a returning dancer, we will roll your funds over to the next year. 
  • If you are a graduating senior or not returning, you can either gift your remaining funds to the TDC Boosters General Fund or to an active TDC Dancer. 
  • All reimbursements for each season MUST be requested no later than JULY 30th of the season-end. For 2026-27 season, all reimbursements must be requested by July 30, 2027.
