Springs Dance Company

Holly Springs, North Carolina

Greetings,

As an outreach program of the Holly Springs School of Dance, the Springs Dance Company, including the Senior, Junior and Apprentice Companies, is a nonprofit multi-age dance organization with the mission of bringing dance to people who might not otherwise have the chance to experience it. Since 2000, these dancers have provided a day of dance at the Children’s Home in Oxford, served as “Artists in Residence” at Willow Springs Elementary and performed at community festivals, malls, museums, and nursing homes. Each winter the companies host a performance that serves as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The annual event has raised more than $55,000 to date.

The Springs Dance Companyneeds your help. Funds are needed for expenses such as costumes, equipment and transportation. To raise money for these expenses the combined companies are hosting the seventh annual Silent Auction at the Holly Springs School of Dance on October 3, 2009 from 12-3 p.m. The dancers hope to raise $5,000. Help is needed to reach that goal. Both donated auction items and cash donations are gratefully accepted.

Donors to this event will be recognized in several ways. A large poster listing all business donors will be displayed during the day of the event. Donors will also be honored on the Holly Springs School of Dance website as well as featured in the program distributed at the six performances at the Fletcher Opera House this spring. These programs will reach families in Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Cary, Raleigh and surrounding areas.

Please complete the information below and return it with your donation to the Holly Springs School of Dance (or an SDC representative) so that we can provide you with a donation acknowledgement for your tax records. Please feel free to call us at the studio if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support of the Springs Dance Company.

Sincerely,

Francisca YanezMarilyn Chappell
