We are a not-for-profit organization who seek to raise awareness, education, and research pertaining to sickle cell anemia as well as provide support to families affected by this life-threatening disease. We are excited to team up with 12-year-old Munah who has chosen to incorporate community service into her summer dance fundraising goals. Having spent countless nights in ICUs and emergency rooms because of her ongoing battle with asthma, Munah identifies with the struggles of wanting to lead a normal life while battling a chronic disease. Together, we hope to inspire little girls to continue to fight through obstacles in order to achieve their dreams!

Goal: To raise funds and in-kind donations to assist Munah towards attending a three-week dance education workshop at the famous “Steps on Broadway” in New York City while giving back to sickle cell awareness!
Workshop dates: July 30th – August 17, 2019
About the Scholarship: At the beginning of this dance season, Munah attended the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) dance Convention and competition in Houston. After a long weekend that included over thirteen hours of classes (ballet, jazz, Contemporary, hip-hop, and tap), and ten hours of competition in which she competed eleven dances, Munah earned three scholarships!! One of those scholarships was a four hundred dollar ($400.00) credit towards the “Steps On Broadway” three week summer dance intensive in New York, no audition necessary!
Fundraising Goal: We hope you can help us bring this little girl's dreams to reality by contributing towards her the training that will enhance her dance career. Our goal is to raise $5500.00 to cover the remainder of the cost of the dance intensive:
- $2300.00, Cost of a three-week workshop after $400.00 scholarship
- $3,000.00 approximate room and board for three weeks
- Travel from Houston to New York.
- We are asking in kind donations also; for example, hotel points or flight points, apparel, etc.
Munah is so passionate about this opportunity, she will be conducting car washes, running a lemonade stand in her neighborhood, conducting a shoe drive for The Krause House, a local girl’s home in Katy that hosts and educates abused young girls from around Texas, documenting the events of her workshop on social media and thanking her sponsors! Last year, as a fundraiser to attend the Debbie Allen summer intensive, we conducted barbecue sales, car washes, and worked with The Krause House to conduct a shoe drive for the girls.

Academically, Munah maintains a 97% average while taking 9th Grade level honors Math and Science. She is a part of the gifted and talented program and was selected a Duke Scholar.
