Giving Tuesday is TODAY!

At a time when arts funding is being cut across the country, supporting artists and organizations like our 501(c)3 is more important than ever.

As we look ahead to the end of the year, we’re reaching out to you to ask for your help to keep creativity alive and accessible in our community. We’ve set a goal to raise $5,000 by December 31st to help fund dancer pay, costumes, travel expenses, and production costs for Season 9.

https://www.hotcrowddance.com/donate

Here’s the best part: if we hit $5,000 by December 31, a generous anonymous donor will match it dollar-for-dollar, doubling our impact to $10,000 before the year closes!
