Ensure EMPIIRE Dancers Compete in Atlanta

My name is Teneshia and I am raising funds for EMPIIRE Dance Company. They were displaced from their studio a month before their competition in Atlanta.

EMPIIRE's story took an unexpected turn when the dance company was abruptly removed from its studio due to an invalid lease transfer from the old landlord to the new landlord. The dancers arrived one day to find the studio without heat, forcing them to rehearse in the cold. The situation quickly deteriorated, with the lights being shut off the following day, rendering the studio unusable.

The sudden displacement left students and staff reeling, as the studio was more than just a place to dance; it was a sanctuary, a haven where they could express themselves and find belonging. The emotional impact of the eviction was profound, leaving dancers feeling lost, confused, and uncertain about the future of their beloved company.

Now, with just 1 week left, EMPIIRE is left trying to figure out how they will get these kids to the competition in Atlanta that they have been working so hard for! We cannot let these kids down! Please help me finalize the remaining expenses to ensure these babies make it to Atlanta for their competition!
