The Christina Cryan Endowed Ballroom Dance Fund.

Where your Money Goes

Most donations go directly to our endowment, which is currently near $100,000, with a goal of $500,000. Our endowment helps pay for our amazing coaching, and, once mature, will help subsidize competition fees and transportation fees, as well as paying dues for students who couldn’t otherwise afford to dance.

If you would like to donate to a certain cause, please let us know when you make your donation. Perhaps you would like to help us get a better sound system or newer costumes. (hint, hint)
