Chance 4 Change Scholarship Fundraiser

Turning ‘Cent$ into $cholarships’ through Spare Change! This innovative initiative not only encourages individuals to contribute their loose change but also aims to transform small, everyday amounts into significant financial aid opportunities for students in need. By collecting and pooling spare change, we create a sustainable fund that can support various educational scholarships, making higher education more accessible. This grassroot effort fosters a sense of community and demonstrates the incredible impact that collective action can have in shaping the futures of aspiring scholars, ultimately paving the way for a brighter society. Join us in this movement and help us turn ordinary cents into extraordinary scholarships that can change lives!

Are you ready to make a difference that goes beyond pennies? Get ready to join us in the most heartwarming campaign of the year – Chance 4 Change! Starting October 23 and running for an inspiring 8 weeks until December 17, we invite you to be a part of an incredible journey that transforms lives through the power of micro-donations.

About Chance 2 Dance

Chance 2 Dance is more than just a dance program – it’s a sanctuary of hope, growth, and joy for children with special needs. We’ve been nurturing their dreams, building their confidence, and fostering a sense of belonging for years. Our programs and enrollment have expanded, and we’ve remained commiQed to keeping tui>on fees affordable, recognizing the financial challenges families face when raising children with special needs. So we need your help keeping up with the demand.

The Vision of Chance 4 Change

Chance 2 Dance, Inc. is launching its official dance student scholarship ini>a>ve: ‘Chance 4 Change’.

You’ve heard the sentiment before, ‘every penny counts.’ We are putting those words into action! With Chance 4 Change, we’re calling on all heroes with a heart for positive change to rally behind our cause. You’re playing a significant role in transforming lives by donating your spare change – whether from your pocket, your couch cushions, or that jar on your kitchen counter.

The number of people with disabilities in Central Florida who struggle to afford the basics is far higher than federal poverty data indicates — 40% compared to 15%.

The ‘C4C’ Scholarship fund will build and fund inclusive arts access to the community of families and individuals with special needs/disabilities in Central Florida. We recognize the financial burdens of life and want to ensure anyone who wants to dance can do so regardless of income status.

HOW CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE?

Community Coin Drive

This is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of our studio dancers! Together, our dancers and the community can create ‘change’ and donate it to help support dancers experiencing financial difficulties.

We invite you to join our heartfelt coin drive micro-fundraiser initiative, where you can share your spare change to support scholarships for inclusive dance classes.

For eight inspiring weeks, our studio opens its doors, welcoming anyone who wishes to contribute their loose change to this noble cause. You don’t need to make an appointment, just show up and drop off your loose change during studio office hours (Mon. – Thur. 12P- 6P)

Don’t have change to drop off? Be a local supporter: Drop by our studio in Maitland, FL. to grab your own ‘C2D Coin Collection Can’.’ This ‘Collection Can’ can sit at your place of business’ front desk and your matrons may drop their loose change in it OR you can ask friends, family, and close network to ‘Create Change’ by donating loose coins.
