Canning
Canning is probably the most popular way dancers raise money. Students stand on sidewalks, in front of stores, by intersections, going door to door wearing oh-so-stylish DM bibs and carrying cans, asking people for donations and telling them all about DM.
Canning is a fast, effective way to raise money for DM - moreover, it is a great way to get the community involved, allowing everyone to celebrate philanthropy.
If you haven't already done so, you can pickup cans and bibs for you and your partner at the DM office on the third floor of Norris during one of the pick up times. Make sure to have your partner's contact info with you when you drop by. You can head out on any of the canning dates listed below, but make sure to follow the instructions for that particular location. Keep an eye out for dancer emails regarding transportation to and from canning locations.

Please be extremely respectful to patrons while canning at these games. If you line yourselves out to the entrance to the gym, please try not to approach the same patron twice. Also please only can at the following games. If canners are seen at any other games, our canning privileges for the whole season will be pulled. Thank you.
