This Susan Kemenyffy diptych was donated to
Dafmark by Shirley Brown and became one of the main items available at our
annual fundraiser.
Shirley's donation is just one example of creative giving. Below are
other ideas you may wish to consider for ensuring Dafmark's continued
success.
-
Sponsor a Dafmark day of work:
for details, call us at 454-3993.
-
Donate an item for one of
Dafmark's silent auctions. Items may include fine art, gift
certificates, themed baskets... Your imagination is the limit.
-
Become a Friend of Dafmark:
commit to a specific level of giving for a period of five years.
-
Special birthdays!
Last year, Gary Maas, our president decided to celebrate his birthday in
a most unusual way; he invited his friends to join him for a party that
was held at Dafmark, and instead of gifts, he asked for a donation to be
given to Dafmark Dance Theater. Our thanks to Gary and his
friends for a successful and creative approach to keeping the arts alive
and well in Erie, PA. When is your birthday?
-
In
kind contributions: it doesn't have to be glamorous... Just
this year, Dafmark received a year's worth of paper products from
Janitor's Supply Company Inc.... Thanks Tom! So
if your business is interested in making a tax deductible donation to
Dafmark, let us know.
-
Cash donations are always
appreciated!
