As some of you may know, my dad is a two-time leukemia survivor. His battle began when he was just a child, and he returned for a second fight in adulthood, when I was 7 years old.  Through experimental treatments, chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, he fought hard and survived. 

His strength, perseverance, and faith not only shaped my family but also helped build Attitude Dance Center—literally. He was the one who did most of the construction to transform our space into the incredible dance home we have today.

Because of my dad’s journey and our family's involvement over the years with Relay for Life, I have always wanted Attitude Dance Center to give back in a meaningful way.  That’s when I discovered Dancers Against Cancer (DAC)—an incredible organization that directly supports dancers, teachers, studio owners, and their families who are fighting cancer. 

DAC provides financial assistance for cancer treatments, therapies, and related expenses, offering a level of support that can truly make a difference when a family is going through such a difficult time.

Unlike larger organizations, where donations might go toward research or broad hospital initiatives, DAC’s funds go directly to individuals and families in need. Your donation will help provide immediate relief to families affected by cancer in the dance community.

When you support our fundraising efforts, you’re helping make a real, tangible difference—one dancer, one family, one story at a time.
