Bravo to all!
What a wonderful fundraiser we just experienced this past weekend! Every single person involved in putting this on should get the biggest round of applause. It was a brilliant day filled with so much community spirit. The contributions and efforts of so many raised over $97,000 and the event was truly tremendous. From students, to staff, to parents, grandparents and friends, everyone gave so generously and we are so grateful for each and every gift. The funds raised will go a long way in continuing our pursuit of making MDT an exceptional place for your dancer to grow up. Many thanks to the committee that created the event; Deana Dearborn, Erica Allen, Crissy Sauter, Lexi Pittman, Leslee Loeber, and many more hands pitching in to carry it to fruition. Kevin Dearborn and Dave Allen were also tremendous help in setting up and breaking down the day. Both those gentlemen always come to our rescue when we need help and we couldn't do it without them. Three very fun and exciting dance classes were taught by Julia Adams, Tessa Barbour, and Naby Bangoura. Thank you to all three of those amazing artists for sharing their talents. It's so much fun to walk up to that room full of energy, full of our school spirit and watch the dancers enjoy one another in the art that they love. Thanks also goes out to all the businesses around our community who donated their services for our silent auction. We are grateful for such incredible support from the wonderful Marin County community. Congratulations to our "Raise the Barre" award winner, Taylor Sauter. Taylor is a very deserving recipient who models the very essence of the MDT spirit in the way she carries herself and the way she cares for the young dancers at our school.
We would love to reach our goal of $100k and it's not too late to donate. If you missed the opportunity to give before the event, please consider giving now. Every dollar makes a difference! Our 99pledges donation site will be accepting donations through April 30th so please consider helping us reach our goal!
We are so proud of our environment, and we feel honored to call MDT and the beautiful St. Vincent's campus home. Thank you for sharing in the dance journey with all of us.
Warmest wishes and so much gratitude,
Lynn Cox
