Hello all,

My friends and I are starting a student-led initiative called TeensForBold, an extension of the nonprofit BOLD Dance. Our goal is to raise awareness and support for inclusive ballroom dance programs that serve individuals in the IDD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) community.

We’re currently working toward a $10,000 goal to help fund instruction, accessible dance programming, and opportunities for participants to learn and enjoy ballroom dance in a supportive environment. The focus is on building confidence, community, and creative expression through dance.

We want to be clear that donations are completely optional, and we understand not everyone is in a position to give, and that’s totally okay. Even just helping us spread the word or sharing feedback would genuinely mean just as much to us.

As students, we’re still learning how to run something like this, but we care a lot about making it something that actually benefits the people it’s meant for. Any support, big or small, helps us move in that direction.

If you have questions or suggestions, we’d really appreciate hearing from you.

The link to the BOLD Dance website and our donation page will be in the comments.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi everyone!

We’re a group of local teens from Carmel involved with BOLD Dance, a nonprofit that provides ballroom dance opportunities for people in the IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) community. It’s a really meaningful program that focuses on inclusion, confidence, and community through dance.

We recently started a teen-led initiative called TeensForBOLD to help support BOLD Dance, and right now we’re mainly trying to get more connected with the local community.

We’re looking for suggestions for:

  • community events in Carmel or nearby
  • school or charity events
  • local organizations or businesses that work with volunteers or partners
  • any opportunities where we could get involved or help out

We thought this community might be a good place to ask because a lot of people here are involved locally and may know of events or groups we could reach out to.

If anyone has ideas or knows of anything coming up, we’d really appreciate it. Thanks so much for your time!

Hi everyone!

We’re a group of local teens from Carmel working with BOLD Dance, an amazing nonprofit that provides ballroom dance opportunities for people in the IDD (intellectual and developmental disabilities) community. BOLD Dance creates an environment focused on confidence, inclusion, friendship, and community through dance, and we really care about supporting their mission.

Recently, we started a teen-led fundraising campaign called TeensForBOLD with the goal of raising $10,000 for BOLD Dance to help support and expand their programs. We thought this community might be a great place to ask for local recommendations and connections that could help support our cause.

Right now, we’re looking for:

  • local community events
  • school or charity events
  • business partnerships
  • any opportunities where we could participate, spread awareness, or help fundraise for BOLD Dance

We’d really appreciate any suggestions, connections, or ideas from the Carmel community. Even recommending events or people to contact would help a ton.

If anyone would also like to support the campaign directly, donations are completely optional, but here is our fundraiser page:
https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/teens-for-bold

The page also includes more information about our cause and a video explaining what BOLD Dance does and the impact it has on the IDD community.

Thank you so much for supporting local nonprofits and helping make opportunities like this possible for the IDD community!
