STUDIO FUNDRAISERS

CADC runs various fundraisers throughout the year such as candy sales, chicken BBQ, and more, to help students raise money to cover fees and other extras associated with performing with CADC. Successful fundraisers happen when our entire CADC dance family gets involved and shares their efforts with family and friends and on social media.

We also offer photography packages. Students can participate in CADC Fundraisers to help cover the additional fees associated with productions outside of regular class activities.
