Last night Amanda and I were reviewing some of the songs that were going to be played at our wedding in July. We were discussing recessionals, bridal party intros, cocktail hour music, etc. We came to the idea of a dollar dance and Amanda and I couldn’t decide if we wanted to do this. Amanda is not a big fan of this, so I thought we could make it a bit more creative and we have decided that we will take whatever funds from the dollar dance and donate them.
I have been to weddings where the funds that would have spent on wedding favors was donated to charity, so it’s not like we are re-inventing the wheel. I think that I’ve heard of others doing this also.
So, my question is, what ways have you taken something that is not really a fundraiser, but donated the funds from it to charity?
Hello Chris… I just read this. I think it’s great that you’re thinking of donating.
Earlier in the year, I used my anniversary at work to ask people to donate to Diabetes Community Advocacy Foundation. To my surprise, people were great and really chipped in for the cause. If you’re thinking of doing something similar, I say go for it!
