The Illini Dance Team knows all the right moves.
Don’t call them amateurs though - “The nationally-ranked Illini Dance Team is a group of ambitious female athletes dedicated to continuing the long-standing tradition of competitive excellence on which it was founded.”
Group leader and first year team secretary Lindsay Wodarski, explains the Illini Dance Team’s dilemma: “We are a completely student run/self-funded team and we must raise enough money to cover all expenses to be able to compete at the College Cheer and Dance Championships in Orlando, FL.”
So when it came time to raise money the girls knew it meant clinics, bake sales and lots of car washes, until Lindsay suggested CampusFundraiser. She tells us about her experience, “[Working with] CampusFundraiser seemed like a really easy way to earn money and was one of the only options out there really.” She also tells us “CampusFundraiser worked in close communication with us and were always there to answer any questions I had. They not only told me what I needed to do but gave me tips on how to be successful at it.” As for the other 19 group members “They were grateful that it didn't take up too much of their time or effort.”
The team must have also been grateful that they all got new costumes with their $1,500 that they earned for successfully completing the Family and Friends Magazine program.
All that’s left now is for them to go and bust a move at the national championships in Orlando, Florida. These girls have the moves and the look to win it all – good luck at nationals!
CampusFundraiser can help your group successfully raise money too. Find out how.
