In-Kind Donations

The UNC Dance Marathon also accepts in-kind donations from businesses and restaurants throughout the year.  These items are used for various aspects of the Marathon.

  1. General needs
    • These include items such as paper, envelopes, tape, art supplies, etc. that the committees use throughout the year to put the Marathon and other events in to action.
  2. Top 10 Dancer prizes and Date Auction Packages
    • The ten dancers that raise the most money receive prizes for their efforts.  These prizes include such things as gift certificates from local businesses and restaurants, tickets to sporting events or concerts, clothing and other memorabilia.
    • Date Auction Packages are given to the individuals who participate in the auction.  These packages are typically composed of date activities such as a meal for two at a local restaurant or movie theater tickets.
  3. Marathon Food
    • All 700 dancers are served six meals throughout the 24 hour marathon.

Any and all of these donations are graciously accepted. Companies that decide to donate are rewarded based on an incentive pyramid and all contributions are tax deductible.  Becoming involved with the UNC Dance Marathon through an in-kind donation is a great way to make a tangible contribution.
