5 ASKED? FREQUENTLY s Do we dance the entire time? Although raisered is a dance marathon, dancers are not dancing the entire 18 hours. Outside of dancing, there are other fun things to do including games, different stations, activities, speakers, and food. There is a line dance that will be taught throughout the night and will be performed during the Community Celebration at the end of the marathon. Food & drinks will also be provided to keep you energized! What happens if if I don t raise $225? Unfortunately, if you do not raise your $225 fundraising minimum by Thursday (2/21) by 8 pm you are not allowed to participate in the marathon. Although this sounds scary, there are plenty of opportunities for you to raise your $225 minimum. For fundraising tips, check out our website s Fundraising Guide & our social media. When Do we will dance I know the what entire team time? I m on? By this point in time, all dancers should be placed on a color team & reached out to by their Team Leaders. Most Team Leaders communicate with their team via UofL or GroupMe - be sure you are checking these for important information! If you have not been contacted by your Team Leader, please dancerrelations.raisered@gmail.com.
