Tavria is very proud to have many fundraising opportunities for its members. This allows us to have a Bingo for Tuition Program and ways to help families offset dance related expenses. This helps keeps our costs down, while maintaining a beautiful spacious facility, skilled instructors, beautiful costuming and lots of performance opportunities.
Bingo for Tuition Program (optional)
The Bingo for Tuition Program is our primary fundraising initiative. Each class is assigned a specific number of bingo shifts throughout the year. When families participate by working their assigned bingo shifts, they receive a reduced class fee. This helps keep tuition affordable for everyone involved.
Opt-Out Option:
Families who choose not to participate in the bingo program can opt out by paying a higher tuition fee.
This program helps us reduce the financial burden for families while fulfilling our community bingo commitments.
Families have the option to work additional bingo shifts beyond their required amount. These extra bingos can be applied to our Earned Funds Program. See the Earned Funds section below. This is a great way for families seeking additional financial support to go beyond tuition savings and help cover other dance program expenses.
Earn Funds to Offset Dance Expenses
We’re fortunate to offer families the opportunity to earn funds that can be used to help cover a variety of dance-related expenses.
How It Works:
Through our partnership with concessions at Mosaic Stadium, families can volunteer at concession stands during events such as Rider Games, concerts, and other stadium activities. When you volunteer, the money earned through your shift is allocated to your family’s fund account.
Use of Earned Funds:
Funds earned can be applied toward approved dance-related expenses, including:
-
Class fees
-
Costume rentals
-
Travel expenses for competitions, bus trips, or larger group events
- Other approved expenses related to your dancer’s participation
Flexible & Supportive:
This fundraising program is completely optional and is a great way for families looking for financial support to actively reduce the cost of participation. You can volunteer as your schedule allows throughout the year.
If you have questions about your fund balance or what expenses are eligible, please connect with our Admin Team or a Board Member — we’re here to help!
Tavria events that need many volunteer hands to be successful
Tavria hosts a large Ukrainian Dance Festival in March each year. To be able to host events of this size, we need many many hands to help. We ask that families volunteer their time to work one shift per registered dancing to help out during this event. As dancers get older, they can work and help out, too. We also welcome aunts, uncles and grandparents to help. We do have the option to buy out of volunteering time, as well, if people do not want to give up their time for this organizational fundraiser.
Other fundraisers and opportunities to be involved.
Each year we need volunteers to be parent reps & costume reps and have numerous committees that can use some help such as Malanka, Fundraising, Festival, Clothing orders, Social events, Competition/Trip committee. We encourage people to get involved as little or as much as they would like.
Throughout the year we may have additional fundraisers that come up like Meat orders, Perogy selling, Pizza selling, etc. More details will come out on these opportunities.
