Raina has been accepted into the 2025 Alonzo King LINES Ballet Summer Dance Intensive in San Francisco. She will be training at the Advanced Level. Raina has worked very hard for this opportunity. She dances approximately 25 hours per week at her home dance school while maintaining a 4.0 GPA in school. She’s 14 and will be going to high school next year. Her goal is to earn a college scholarship. She helps fund her own dance education by teaching the younger children. Dance is her passion and her dream.

I am Raina’s Grandma. I’m organizing this fundraiser on the advice of Raina’s teacher. Raina has been at her home dance school since she was three and they have supported her with sliding scale tuition and partial scholarships. There is a lot of expense involved in going to a dance school of LINES' caliber, so we are asking for your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us in our goal to cover tuition, housing, and transportation to San Francisco. Thank you for your generosity and God bless you!
