30 days until BobcaThon!
Keep your organization up to date!
There's still time to add dancers to your team!
We are so thrilled that your organization has created a team for our dance marathon on February 13!
To ensure that you have the most positive experience with BobcaThon possible, we encourage you to have as many people from your organization sign up and join the efforts to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House.
Closer to the event, we will be assigning each team a color! On the day of the dance marathon there will be several activities and competitions between the color teams, so gather up members for your team and show us what you can do on the dance floor!
To add members to your team follow these quick steps:
- Go to http://www.firstgiving.com/rmhc/bobcathon-15-16/Teams
- Find your organization's team and click 'join team.'
- Register as a dancer
- Be ready to raise money and dance it out at our marathon!
Fundraising tips!
- Use social media!! You'd be surprised by the amount of support you can receive, simply by posting the link to your Firstgiving account on Facebook or Twitter.
- "Can" for donations. Post up in various places around campus and ask for donations for the Ronald McDonald House. This can be very affective when done correctly! One dancer took her can to a Steelers tailgate and made $266 in less than an hour.
- Reach out over the phone! Call your friends and family and tell them what you're doing. People are more likely to donate when they hear a story straight from the source.
Have fun.
Witness impact.
Make a difference.
