About UsCMU Sahara is Carnegie Mellon's premier co-ed Bollywood fusion dance team, incorporating styles from Bollywood, to Contemporary, to Hip Hop. Founded just five years ago, Sahara has grown extraordinarily quickly--starting out with small, local performances in its first year, and competing at nationally recognized competitions this past year. Despite our success, Sahara frequently struggles to fundraise enough to even apply to various competitions, let alone attend. If granted, this sponsorship would go towards covering all types of logistical costs and make our vision for inspiring youth that much more accessible. We hope you consider donating to our effort!
Our Project
The fundraising goal of this project is to raise $3,000. This money will be used to cover registration fees for the online competitions we will be participating in. Most importantly however, this money will also help cover our costs, such as transportation and hotel costs, for next competition season. We know that going forward, it will be harder than ever to fundraise, and as such, we need to raise money as early as possible. These donations will enable us to ensure that we compete for the foreseeable future.
Why Contribute
Every donation makes a difference. For our regular competition season, it costs us approximately $4,000 to cover the cost of one competition. Our members are extremely passionate about dance, however oftentimes, they can’t participate as the cost is just too high. Your donations will help alleviate the cost for our dancers and allow them to pursue their passion. Specifically, these donations will allow a team of approximately 30 students to compete against the best Bollywood-fusion dance teams across the country. As mentioned before, each competition costs about $4,000, 2,000 from logistical costs and 2,000 in registration fees for members (total).
