Sound familiar?

Competition travel adds up fast. Hotels, entry fees, costumes, choreography — one season can cost $2,000+ per dancer.
Bake sales don't raise real money. You need $5,000 for nationals, not $150 in brownies.
Parents are embarrassed to ask for money. Going door-to-door feels awkward when you're asking for dance costumes.
GoFundMe takes 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. And you're competing with medical emergencies for attention in the feed.
No way to track individual progress. You don't know who's raised what until the deadline hits and some dancers are short.
