2021 Dash Details
Join Club Blue as they Dash to a Great Future to benefit the more than 4,700 youth who walk through the doors of a Middle Tennessee Boys & Girls Club each year. Supporters who participate will compete in a month-long, peer-to-peer fundraising campaign to raise essential funds to help youth learn about the world around them, live a healthy lifestyle, and become leaders among their peers and in the community.
Last year those who fundraised for Dash raised $33,000 to benefit BGCMT youth.
Join us for Back to the 90's, our Dash kickoff party!
Open to Club Blue members and their guests, our Dash kickoff party is one you don't want to miss. We're going back to the 90s, complete with big chains and even bigger cell phones, at Fat Bottom Brewing on August 11th from 6-8pm. Tickets are $10, which includes drinks, food, music, and fun, and 100% of proceeds benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee. Get your tickets below!
How Does It Work?
Dash to a Great Future is a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign that benefits BGCMT. It kicks off August 11 and concludes September 14. Fundraisers, also known as “Dashers,” raise funds while competing for prizes and working towards “graduation” ($1,000+ raised).
Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Concept
Dash to a Great Future is a peer-to-peer fundraiser, which means you will leverage your friends and family to help you graduate. However, you will not be alone! You will be provided with a playbook that provides you with social media content, photos, statistics, and sample appeals to help make the process of fundraising a breeze.
Earn 'Scholarships'
Throughout the campaign, you will have opportunities to earn 'scholarships,' i.e. dollars that go toward your fundraising total. Earning a scholarship will bring you one step closer to graduation and being our top fundraiser! Scholarships are made possible by our generous donors.
Campaign Kickoff
Dashers, Club Blue members, and guests are all invited to our Back2School Bash where you will meet some of the youth you are raising money to support and have an opportunity to meet fellow fundraisers. You’ll also have a chance to win ‘scholarships’ which will increase your total dollars raised and your chance of being the top fundraiser. This will be a great time to get familiar with the mission and take photos to use throughout the campaign!
Graduation Party
The campaign culminates in a ‘graduation party,’ which is a time to recognize and celebrate our fundraisers, announce our graduates (i.e. those who raise at least $1,000), and thank supporters. We will also award prizes to our top fundraisers. This party is for Dashers only--and you don't want to miss it!
