Nina Menendez - Circle of Support

Donation protected
Dear Friends,

Nina Menendez, director of the Bay Area Flamenco Festival, and tireless arts advocate has been diagnosed with advanced stage metastatic colorectal cancer and has just begun a course of chemotherapy. We are reaching out to Nina's community to raise funds for her current and future medical expenses and basic needs.

Nina's passion and dedication have been a major force for decades in making the San Francisco Bay Area a world center for flamenco. She has also spearheaded the Barbara Dane Legacy Project, celebrating her mother’s work as singer and social activist. 

As friends and family, colleagues, members of the flamenco community and for all of us whose lives have been touched by her work  -  this is our opportunity to support Nina, someone who has always given so much to so many!

Help us reach our goal of $15,000 for Nina's medical and basic living expenses as she faces this overwhelming situation. Please click to donate below. 

All funds go directly to Nina! Any amount you can contribute will make a big difference. 

If you could also share this fundraising appeal with your friends, it would mean so much. The more people hear about this cause, the quicker we will reach our goal for Nina. Please share widely! 

Your caring personal messages of love and support will mean a lot to Nina. They can also be shared through this site as well, with or without any monetary contribution.

In Gratitude and with Love,

A Circle of Loving Friends
