The Southside Southern Belles are a dedicated youth dance team with a passion for performance and community spirit. Our mission is to empower young dancers through meaningful experiences, teaching discipline, teamwork, and self-confidence while fostering a supportive environment. As we fundraise to attend the 100th Macy's Day Parade in NYC, we invite the community to join us in this exciting milestone.

It’s 1,383 miles from here to New York.! At about $3 per mile, your gift directly helps cover travel and trip costs so our Belles can shine on the big stage!

$ 10 ≈ 3 Miles

$ 25 ≈ 8 Miles

$ 50 ≈ 17 Miles

$ 100 ≈ 33 Miles

Before we get to the fun stuff....a quick note about online payments. It's quick and easy! No need to sign up for an account!

We use Zeffy to securely process our online donations. Zeffy is a NO FEE platform for you and our organization, no matter which payment method you choose.

Zeffy is funded through optional contributions from donors. At checkout, you'll see an option to add a contribution to Zeffy.

If you'd rather skip that and keep the gift entirely fee-free, it's quick:

Select "Other" in the contribution dropdown
Enter $0

That’s it—your full donation still goes directly to our organization, and then you’re on to the fun part: getting our Belles to New York!
