We want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our nonprofit during this campaign. Because of you, we raised $1,291.11 and welcomed 6 new monthly donors. These donations directly support building operations and help sponsor dancers—both children and adults—who otherwise wouldn’t have access to dance. The truth is: while VMAC may look full and thriving, we operate on a very tight budget. Monthly recurring donations are what allow us to keep the doors open. If VMAC has ever been a place of joy, growth, or belonging for you, we invite you to consider becoming a monthly donor or sharing our campaign. 🎯 Goal: $5,000/month in recurring support 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/xcknblhccm
