Help me perform!

Hi, my name is Payton Thomas and I am fundraising to pursue my dream of performing in Las Vegas. This is a venture I've always dreamed of and your help would be greatly appreciated!

I started dancing when I was young. Performing in school talent shows, family gatherings and local theatre plays. Then, when my parents enrolled me at the Boys & girls club around age 8, is when I truly found my love for dance. I was put in the traveling performance group where a group of us kids performed all around the community. As I got older, I began making choreography for the younger club kids to still stay connected with dance. When I got to high school, in my junior year I joined my schools dance team. Where we placed top 3 at state both years I was on the team. When I got to college, after the pandemic there was no dance team at my school. So, I decided to create one. So, for my final two years of college, I led a dance team of 15-18 members. Which grant me with the opportunity to be the step dance coach at a local high school during my last year of college. Now currently, I am a dance instructor at the YMCA teaching dance to youth. All in all, I've be dancing my whole life and this is the opportunity of a lifetime. 

Thank you for your time and as little as $10 would go a long way in helping me achieve my dream.
