With Olivia's local efforts and my dear friends' kindness, Olivia's need just decreased. Receiving her acceptance letter in March from Ballet West Academy, Olivia single-handedly is raising much of the $2750 needed for tuition, housing, travel, dancewear, and spending money for a prestigious summer ballet program for pre-professional dancers.
Sure, I may have provided postcards, emails, and blog posts, and a friend with sales' savvy may have pointed her in all the right directions, but Olivia's dedication to her craft, plus her fearless pursuit in fundraising, truly brought home the bacon.
On Tuesday, Olivia and other members of Sonoma Ballet Theatre opened the 2012 season of Sonoma's famous Farmer's Market. After a series of short and sweet performances, Olivia dove into the crowd and received generous contributions exceeding $200.
In addition, Olivia received Paypal donations from a couple of my coolest high school friends who cannot be thanked enough.
With less than four weeks to go, Olivia's need is now $750!
Thank you to all who have helped my lovely babe! And for those of you also willing to help get Olivia closer to her dream of dancing professionally for a top-notch ballet company, you can contact her here:
