My daughter Tabby has been passionate about ballet since she was two years old, guided first by her late mother, who inspired her both as a dancer and musician. Tabby’s dedication to dance has shaped her life, and now, as a high school senior at Idyllwild Arts Academy, she’s excited to make the most of every opportunity in the school’s renowned dance program. This year is especially meaningful for Tabby, as she hopes to honor her mother’s legacy and finish high school surrounded by the art she loves most.

As a dancer and pilates teacher myself, I understand the importance of supporting Tabby’s dreams. Living in a seasonal town, my work is often affected by extreme summer heat, making it difficult to maintain steady income. Despite these challenges, Tabby was awarded a generous scholarship covering about 45% of her tuition, but we still need help to cover the remaining costs. The funds raised will go directly toward the tuition down payment, ensuring Tabby can continue her studies and participate in performances that will shape her future.

We are facing an urgent deadline to pay the tuition by August 25, 2025. Any support will help Tabby stay at Idyllwild and pursue her passion for dance during this pivotal year. Thank you for helping us keep her dream alive.

We needed to update our original goal as to secure 10k for down payment on what’s remaining of tuition, please keep sharing.
