Flip-A-Thon! October 18th
Get ready to flip, tumble, and make a difference! The Dance Factory is excited to introduce our Flip-A-Thon, a special fundraising event taking place during our annual Fall ’Fest on Sunday, October 18th, at 12:00 PM!
This year, our Fall ’Fest is dedicated to our very own dancer, Camila, and her family as they navigate her cancer journey. As a dance family, we believe in coming together to support one another, and we’re inviting our entire community to join us in making a difference—one flip at a time!
Whether you're a dancer, gymnast, parent, sibling, friend, or simply someone who wants to support an incredible cause, our Flip-A-Thon is open to EVERYONE, of ALL AGES and ALL ABILITIES!
No dance experience is required. Just bring your energy, your biggest smile, and your willingness to make a difference!
🤸 What Is the Flip-A-Thon?
The Flip-A-Thon is a fun, community-wide fundraising challenge where participants collect pledges and donations in support of Camila and her family. Each participant will have two minutes to complete as many cartwheels or forward rolls as they can!
Before the event, participants will ask friends, family members, neighbors, and local businesses to sponsor their challenge by making a pledge or a flat donation.
The more flips you complete, the more money you can raise!
💜 How to Pre-Register for the Flip-A-Thon

💰 How Do Pledges and Donations Work?
There are two ways your friends, family, and community members can sponsor your Flip-A-Thon challenge!
Make a pledge per flip!
A sponsor can pledge a specific dollar amount for every cartwheel or forward roll you complete during your two-minute challenge.
For example, if your sponsor pledges $1 per flip and you complete 25 cartwheels, they will donate $25 toward your fundraiser!
Example pledge
25 cartwheels × $1 per flip
Once you've completed your challenge, you can share your final flip count with your sponsors and collect their pledged donations.
Make a flat donation!
Not everyone needs to pledge per flip!
Sponsors can also choose to donate a fixed amount, regardless of how many cartwheels or forward rolls you complete.
Whether someone contributes $5, $10, $20, or any amount they choose, every donation makes a difference.
Flat donations can be collected before the event and recorded on your pledge sheet.
💜 Can't Participate? You Can Still Make a Difference!
Even if you aren't able to participate in the Flip-A-Thon or attend Fall ’Fest, you can still support Camila and her family by making a donation directly through their GoFundMe page.
Every contribution, every shared post, and every act of kindness helps surround Camila and her family with the love and support of our community.
