Hello! We are Big Red Raas at Cornell, a team of over 45 students excited to share our culture and compete nationwide. This year, we have the incredible opportunity to participate in four national bid competitions in Indiana, Virginia, and Maryland. These events are more than just performances for us—they are a chance to come together as a family, celebrate South Asian culture, and grow as dancers and leaders.

Being part of Big Red Raas means building lifelong friendships and representing Cornell with pride. Competing at a national level allows us to share a vibrant cultural art form with diverse communities across the country. For many of us, these competitions are the highlight of our college experience and a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.

We are reaching out for your support to help cover our registration fees, transportation, and hotel costs. Any donation, big or small, will make a meaningful difference and help us reach our dream of competing together. Thank you so much for considering a gift to our team!
