Help Arielle Compete at Jr. Olympics
Donation protected
UPDATE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM:
My daughter Arielle is an 11-year-old breaker who has shown incredible dedication and resilience on her journey. She began dancing at just two and a half years old and was introduced to breaking at age 4/ 5. While she enjoyed it from the start, it wasn’t until about a year and ten months ago that she began training consistently and seriously in the genre. The pandemic put her dance activities on hold for over two years, but Arielle returned with renewed passion and determination.
This year, Arielle competed in a series of two NY Tristate battle events to qualify for the AAU Super Regional Qualifier for the Jr. Olympics in Houston, Texas. At the first Tristate event, she didn’t place, but instead of letting that discourage her, she used it as motivation to work even harder. At the second event, she won second place in the novice division, earning the points she needed to qualify for the Super Regionals. This opportunity is extraordinary for Arielle—it’s a chance to see her hard work pay off and to move closer to her dream of one day competing in the Olympics.
We’re raising funds to cover travel, lodging, and training expenses so Arielle can make the most of this incredible experience. As her mother, I’ll be traveling with her to support her every step of the way. Your support will help Arielle continue to chase her dreams and inspire others with her dedication and perseverance.
UPDATE: Arielle has made it to Houston and competed in the Super Regionals. She placed Top 16, then Top 8, and qualified for the Jr. Olympics on Friday!!! This is only the beginning as she competes to win!
First and foremost, we thank God Almighty, in whom all things are possible. , Next, THANK YOU to everyone that donated, shared, prayed for, and offered kind words and support. We truly appreciate it all and wouldn't be here without YOU!
