Join Lucas in Celebrating KDO's Impact

My son Lucas Martin has been a part of an amazing program here in Indianapolis called Kids Dance Outreach since he was 8 years old. To celebrate his final year in the program, Lucas wants to raise money as a donation to the organization, hoping to surprise them at the final performance this year.

Lucas has been able to raise a little over $1500 so far by asking family and friends.

We told him we would try to reach $2000 in donations so we created this GoFundMe to see if people would donate through here to make an extra $500. If he reaches this goal, his mom and I plan to donate an extra $25 to make the total $2025 - the same year Lucas concludes his KDO journey.

If we can get 50 people to donate $10 we will meet Lucas' new goal!

Lucas has the honor of speaking on stage about his journey at KDO's End of the Year performance "Dream with Wings". When he speaks at the May 3rd evening performance he is going to surprise KDO with his gift live on stage! Keep a look out for the performance streaming live on YouTube!

Please help us make this dream a reality for Lucas!

This program has been a major part of Lucas’ life as well as many other kids in the community.

He’ll be beyond grateful for any amount you’re willing to give.

For more info about Kids Dance Outreach, here’s a link to a wonderful documentary produced by

WFYI Productions that tells KDO’s story and what they do for kids.

Learning how to dance is just a part of what they do.

They teach kids to build confidence, work together, and become the best versions of themselves.

And they do it all with joy!

And like Lucas says in the video, the teachers are just the best.

Please watch the video of Lucas making his pitch and if you have time watch the KDO documentary to get a better idea of the incredible work Kids Outreach does.

Thank you for considering!
