What is needed to bring this vision to reality?
How can you contribute? Here is how can you can be a part of this vision NOW!!!
Step One...Fund Raising
We are a 501C3 Non-Profit Organization. All donations of money and services are tax deductible. Monetary as well as Service Donations can be made on behalf of "The Unity Drum Dance Tour"
through "The Ink People"
Due to the size of this project we are seeking active support from Drummers and Dancers, as well as schools of both, world wide. We are also looking for businesses and/or philanthropists interested in supporting World Peace as well as World Wide Humanitarian Efforts, which is where proceeds for the tour will be donated.
Unity Drum & Dance-A-Thons
We are inviting Drum Groups, Dance Groups or schools who teach either, to organize a Unity Drum & Dance-Athon in your local area. This is one way we are creating the funding needed for the tour. All Organizers will receive 40% of the net donations from each event . So the bigger the event and the more Drummers & Dancers you have the more you earn as an organizer. We are borrowing the concept of the Walk-Athon, where Drummers and Dancers gather Sponsor Donations/Pledges for a set amount of time of participation of a Unity Drum & Dance-Athon. These events can last from four to twenty four hours, depending on the number of participants, venue chosen and more. If you want to help create World Peace, share in the creation of the tour and earn money doing so Contact us for details. Why not let what you do for pleasure create
positive change globally?
Groups creating these events as well as Businesses who's employees donate a minimum of $2,000 will earn a live link on our "Sponsors Page". Official Unity Drum & Dance-A-Thon forms and event structure are available by writing me at gary@theunitydrumdancetour.org or call me at 561-267-3837
Please call between the hours of 9:00am and 9:00pm Pacific Time.
