Wake Robin Morris is a Morris Team who has been dancing together since 1981, but has never made it to England.  Morris dancing is an ancient English folk dance which is most closely associated with May Day.  Our home is in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, but we have danced throughout the Northeast as well as Canada, performing dances from the Fieldtown and Oddington traditions of the Cotswalds.  This Indiegogo campaign is the capstone of two years of fundraising that started with our popular Maxfield Parrish inspired calendar in 2013 and has also included local dinners and sales of glassware.


We are looking to raise $2,000 to defray the costs of airfare and lodging in England.  We have already raised $4,500 with our efforts, which will pay for our rental cars while touring the English countryside.  In addition to our gratitude for your donations, we are offering numerous incentives in the form of glassware, canvas photographs, local services, handmade jewelry,  and even a dance written specifically for you.  We are also offering copies of a commemorative album of our tour of England, and a 2016 calendar  of Maxfield Parrish inspired photography. If we don't make our entire goal, we will still honor the incentives for each donation level.  

Our biggest challenge for this fundraiser is finding new donors.  This is why we are expanding our reach through Indiegogo, so that friends, family and supportive strangers outside of our local community may donate to the cause as well.  We are hoping to promote knowledge of this campaign through Facebook, newspaper articles, and direct solicitations to other Morris teams we have danced with over the years.  Please help us by spreading the word of this campaign, and using the Indiegogo sharing tools to let others know of your involvement with Wake Robin Morris.
