3.) Participate in our Letter Writing campaign! This campaign sends out letters provided by our Letter Writing Chair to family and friends explaining about your commitment being a dancer and asking for their support in your fundraising for Children's Miracle Network of Greater St. Louis! This is the easiest way to raise money!

Fundraising tips:
Introduce who you are and tell people what Dance Marathon is! Explain that Dance Marathon at Southeast raises funds for Children’s Miracle Network of St. Louis, which supports two local area children’s hospitals, St. Louis Children’s Hospital and SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. Let them know that every donation helps towards reaching our goal of $15,000 and that every dollar raised is directly donated to the children!
