Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These items are much needed for my group of traveling dancers. The cultural dance we learn is called Aztec Dance, and it involves beautiful feathers, outfits and regalia.

In order to keep ourselves and our precious regalia fresh and clean as we travel, we need these health and beauty supplies.

As burgeoning performers, my students need to practice keeping all of their equipment clean.

We constantly run out of supplies like these, and your donation will help keep these performing artists supported as they learn the prep and care work needed for traveling performances.
