ANNOUNCEMENT!
I am still buzzing from the energy last night! I had the best night! 🥰❤️🙏😁
I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who came out to the Philippine Oroquieta Flood Relief Fundraiser Dance Workshop last night. 🙏 It was so great to connect with my old students and I was also happy to see half of the old UPD Crew there. Zoe and Emelia Williams a shame we missed you in the end due to covid but I hope you guys feel better soon. There was even a couple of new faces there too, which was lovely to see. 🙂
A big thank you to Kirsten at Pure Funk Dance for allowing me to use your studio for the Fundraiser, you have an amazing space.
Thank you also to all the studios and dancers who helped spread the word and shared the event with their students/friends.
Thank you also to Gabe from Motion Theory Physio for squeezing me in on Saturday and taping my ankle up good. You have no idea how much more at ease I felt after having my ankle taped up. I literally sprained my ankle last week and was not sure how I would go teaching this workshop, but I pushed through because cancelling this fundraiser was not really an option. Thank you Bianca Rugari for the recommendation.
Thank you to Kate Downton and Penelope Shum for agreeing to be my assistants if I needed it due to my ankle, although I didn’t really need it in the end. LOL!
Lastly a HUGE thank you also to all the people so far that have donated to the Go Fund Me I have set up. We are extremely thankful for all your kind donations as it will really help those families in need. I will still be keeping the Go Fund Me open for the next couple of weeks so if anyone would like to donate, you can do so in the link provided below.
Our goal for this fundraiser is $5000, even better is we can surpass that. My amazing husband JB Tolentino said whatever we raise at the workshop, he will match it, so what was $760 is now $1520. So far with the workshop, go-fund me, and bank transfer donations combined we have raised $2545. We are halfway there guys, so if you can spare any money and would really like to help homeless families in the Philippines rebuild their homes after the flood/landslide disaster, feel free to donate here: https://gofund.me/4b897c68
We are aiming to assist some of the families in Talik and Tobok in Oroquieta City as those were the areas that were hit the worst due to being located by the sea and river. The money raised will assist these families with bags of rice and also money towards materials to help rebuild their homes.
