My Project

Our middle school dance team is in need of new bags and bows this season. We are hoping for a donation that can make these girls feel special and valued as RMS dancers. We are doing our best to raise money for upcoming events and we’re looking for support for our team. Our girls are hard workers and have shown their dedication to being a part of the middle school dance team we want to give back to them, but we need help. Please consider helping us show our girls how much they are loved valued, and what they mean to the world.
