A Teesside street dance club is hoping to raise funds to buy new equipment and further their competition potential.
Stockton’s Idance4me has around 18 members and has been running for two years. The self-funded club has signed up to the Gazette’s Wish Sport campaign.
The dance club is run voluntarily by parents. With the help of their support, the children train very hard attending competitions when possible.
Any funds raised this year from the campaign will be used to buy fold away dance mirrors, new outfits and will help with competition costs.
The Gazette has teamed up with Middlesbrough and Teesside Philanthropic Foundation, which is providing £30,000 to share between not-for-profit sports groups across Teesside.
Tokens will be printed in the Gazette every day from Monday, July 7. The more tokens collected, the greater the share of the prize pot.
There is an online twist to this year’s campaign as the tokens collected will be worth a share of £25,000 with the remaining £5,000 up for grabs during two special Wish Sport online bonus days.
All groups will be in with a chance during the online bonus days to win a share of the additional money pot - the four which receive the most votes on http://ift.tt/1md60Qe will bag the cash.
Foundation patron Nigel Williams said: “The Philanthropic Foundation carries out amazing work across Teesside. As someone who was not only born and raised in the area but who has lived and worked here all their life, I want to see Teesside thrive at all levels. I think the Foundation’s support of Wish Sport is a great example of how we can make a real difference, not just to sports clubs but to the lives of the people who benefit from their involvement in sport.”
To help Idance4me send your tokens to 81 Scurfield Road, Hardwick, Stockton, TS19 8SQ.
