It Takes a Community ($16,000 Raised!)

Dear Friends,

We danced together to raise over $16,000 for Marin Foster Care kids and families!

This past weekend, we taught a Stop Drop and Dance class for the Marin Foster Care's 6th Annual Dance-a-Thon fundraiser at the Corte Madera Community Center!

Thank you to Caren Wachtenheim for leading this amazing event and inviting us to teach for the 3rd year in a row. This event was a success because of the community of sponsors, volunteers and donors that gave their time and money to come together for this important cause.

The Marin Foster Care Association truly makes a difference for children who do not have a place to call home, and it supports foster parents who have the heart of wanting to help take care of kids who need it.

It is not always easy to get a crowd of people to dance with us, but if the cause is worth it, then we are happy to try! Thank you so much to Sara Rainbolt, Laura Tollen, Suneela Jain, Leslie Dinham, and my daughters for coming up on stage, encouraging kids (and adults) to participate, and keeping the dance floor alive!

Choose people:

who feel like home,
who let your nervous system breathe,
who see you,
who make you feel most you,
who leave you feeling warm & cosy inside,
who care,
who see you as enough,
who love the way you grow."
