HELP GIOVANNA ATTEND THE PBT

Hello GoFundMe Dreammakers!

I’m Christine Padua and I’m organizing this GoFundMe page for my beloved childhood Ballet teacher’s granddaughter, Giovanna Pascale, who just got accepted to the prestigious Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre School.

Giovanna has been studying Ballet since she was 2 years-old. She’s now 13 years old and has been accepted into this challenging and once-in-a-lifetime Summer Intensive Ballet Program at PBT. Although she has been awarded a scholarship, these funds only pay for the tuition. My goal is to raise money for room, board, and all the other expenses she will incur while attending this 5-week program.

Giovanna's acceptance into the prestigious Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre's Intensive Summer Program gives her the opportunity to learn, explore, rediscover, and study with a noteworthy Ballet Company and have an

extraordinary experience of a lifetime. The PBT School cultivates the next generation of professional dancers

and provides a diverse and classically-based curriculum. Through summer pre-professional programming,

dancers have the opportunity to work with PBT artistic staff and a faculty of former principal and professional

dancers with national and international companies. The training, individualized mentorship and

wellness programming has a proven record in preparing dancers for the next steps in their careers.

I hope you will join me in contributing to this wonderful work and for making this dream come true for Giovanna. You can view her dance videos on her YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@gigiballerina8875 and on her Instagram Account handle @gigi_ballerina5678.

These lyrics “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way, show them all the beauty they possess inside….” is a revelation on how it takes a village to raise a child and help them achieve their goals and dreams. Here’s to Giovanna’s first step into a professional Ballet Company! Thank you for your time, consideration, love, and contribution.
