Relief for AYC & Community from Hurricane Helene

Dear AYC Friends –

As many of you know, our beloved Asheville community and the Appalachian region have been deeply impacted by Hurricane Helene. We are incredibly grateful that our teachers and staff are safe, and that our studio—a sanctuary for so many—has weathered the storm.

Our hearts go out to all of our neighbors who have been affected, and we are committed to supporting our community in the days ahead. We are organizing a variety of fundraising efforts including donation classes, food drives, collections, and more for local organizations doing important work to support people in the community through the recovery.

We are so touched by the outpouring of love and concern from many of you asking how you can support the studio directly. Inspired by these requests, we have set up this GoFundMe page to directly aid our staff and teachers who are facing difficulties from the storm, and to help the studio to weather these unforeseen circumstances.

We are deeply grateful for your support.

With love and gratitude,

The AYC Family
