DPA Directors and POPA Officers
October is the DPA Fall Funky Sock Sale!!!
We want to raise money for a new projector and additional microphones for our theatre! Our goal is $10,000 and we are confident we can meet (or beat) that goal!
DPA earns 50% of all socks sold - Bundle of 3 pairs sells for $15 = $7.50 for DPA! Individual Socks sell for $6 = $3 for DPA! Additionally, for every two pairs sold, 1 pair will be donated to The Atlanta Mission to directly benefit homeless families. A win-win for DPA and our broader community!
All you have to do is sign up and share! Click HERE to add your mobile phone number and name. Once you've signed up, your goal automatically defaults to $100. For example, selling 7 bundles of socks = $105. Share using the link provided in your profile through social media, text, or email. Friends and Family can purchase online and everything is shipped directly to them. Great for family and friends that live out of state and socks make terrific gifts for the holidays.
We will also be selling pairs and bundles at all of our October shows and during lunch October 24 -26 . There is a student leaderboard and team points, along with gift cards, will be awarded for our highest sales!!!
The campaign only lasts during the month of October. If you have any trouble signing up or sharing the link, please let us know at denmarkperformingarts@gmail.com or message us on social media. It is super easy and who doesn't need socks? Thank you in advance for your support of this fundraiser to purchase new equipment for our theatre!
