Dance Infusion

Dance Infusion was a unique fundraiser. We brought "rave" culture to the day time so that people with auto immune diseases and people of all ages could experience it without messing with their sleep schedule.

Besides being unique and raising money for the cause, it worked because we accomplished our primary goal of introducing the music and dance scene to the world of auto immune diseases and vice versa... One of the other 4 DJs besides myself told me she was grateful she got to do this because she didn't realize how little she knew about MS. Also, my mother's best friend Teri came to me and said her Husband Bill is a home body who rarely goes out, but that he was having so much fun! Finally, one of our sponsors AOM Infusion said it was an outstanding way to achieve their goal of connecting directly with patients.

This will be a tough sell, but I think a thing worth repeating is going after communities that are not the wealthy donor community. There are many fund raisers where the main goal is raising money. Raising less money but introducing it to younger people who may not have as much to donate but are super passionate has it's benefits as well.
