Hello all. I was trying to come up with a way to "fundraise" for the girls and their summer dance activities.

Phoebe (15) and Elsie (11) have a very busy summer coming up.

On June 20th we all head down to Arizona where both girls will be taking classes with Fluid Dance Competition and Phoebe will perform her 2021/2022 solo a final time.

On June 27th, Phoebe leaves from Arizona for Oregon where she will be training for 4 weeks with Oregon Ballet Theatre.

On June 15, Elsie and I head out for L.A. where she will be training with Joffrey Ballet School for 2 weeks. Phoebe will meet us there and will attend the second week.

To equip themselves for summer dance they will both need the following items:

Several black leotards
3 to 4 pairs of tights
Ballet slippers
Jazz Shoes
Heels
Dance socks
Contemporary dance footwear
Hip Hop shoes
Dance clothing for styles other than ballet
Elsie needs multiple colors of leotards for the final show she performs in
Phoebe will need 8-10 pairs of pointe shoes (which go for $112 after tax/per pair)

We have already paid tuition and housing for all the programs, but this list of clothing items is long and expensive.

We did not just want to ask for "Hand-Outs" so we would like to take donations but also offer art in return. I needed to get this first post written, and people invited to the page, but I will post pictures of the art that we have to offer. These pieces of art are all Raftery woman originals. Either created by myself or one of the girls.

We can take checks or you can Venmo me at Amber-Raftery
Please consider donating and let me know if you would like a piece of art and we will make arrangements to get that to you. Once I have photos loaded, you may choose your item.

Thank you so much for all your love and support!
