Help Homeless Children Dance
I love many people in this world. But, I have a special adoration for this one boy from college. You see, he was my dance partner that year I performed in Rollins Dance. His name is Dario and his soul has always spoken to mine. We grew older and he, beautiful and true, heeded his calling. He is the artistic director at Center for Contemporary Dance. I love all things about Dario but it is his spirit that I honor most. So when I got this email today, I felt like I had to tell you all about it:
We need your help. One of our outreach programs has cultivated a new population of young students at The Center for Contemporary Dance. Fifteen children between the ages of 5 and 13, living full-time in homeless shelters, are now being fully supported to study with us.
They're amazing kids, who were personally invited by our artistic director to continue their studies with us beyond the outreach program, at no cost. They earned that privilege based on their natural talents and commitment to the outreach program.
We would like very much for these kids to participate in our December 6 winter concert, MAKULU: A Contemporary African Ballet, but we need immediate help to cover their costume costs, which average $100 per child. That's a total of $1,500 that we need by November 20, so we can order their costumes in time for the show.
If you can help sponsor a child, please contact us today at (407) 695-8366 to make a tax-deductible donation.
Or mail gifts to:
The Center for Contemporary Dance

We believe every child should have the opportunity to dance, and know you feel the same.
Please spread the word by sharing this email with your contact list. If we exceed the goal, all monies will be placed into a scholarship fund, specifically reserved for displaced and homeless children.
Thank you for your continuing support of The Center for Contemporary Dance!
I am thankful that he is feeding these young souls with so much of what they need during a difficult time. And so I am sharing this here in the hopes that we can help them out, together.
What do you say? Every little bit helps!
