Thanks to the generosity of anonymous donors, RUDM holds two Match Days each year. Donations received on these days, adhearing to that Match Day’s rules, will be matched up to the designated amount, until funds run out. Participating in Match Days is a great way to jumpstart your fundraising.

For friends on Instagram and Snapchat, it’s easy to collect donations through Venmo. Just donate to your own QGiv page with your own card once you’re done!

Post our punchcards on your story! This allows you to give shoutouts to your friends that donate.

You can also create an Instagram poll to collect donations: give two price points for donations (like $2 and $4) and send Venmo requests to everyone who votes for each choice.

Follow our Instagram @RUDanceMarathon to stay on the lookout for more punchcards!

Many companies encourage employees to donate to their favorite charities by matching their contributions, sometimes dollar-for-dollar or more. If a family member’s company participates in this program, you can help Embrace Kids Foundation accomplish even more with your generous donations.

To find out if a company will match your donation to Embrace Kids Foundation, please contact the human resources department or you can look up your company's matching gift policy here.

Be sure to submit the company’s Matching Gift form to the RUDM Finance Team so your/your team is credited with the donation.
