Donations change lives.

Learn how your donation brought joy, movement and the feeling of "fitting in" to Keeleigh.
After her very first dance class, Keeleigh became hooked on dance and loved performing for crowds when “she felt like all the other kids.” The COVID-19 outbreak forced Keeleigh to isolate as a high-risk individual, but she was able to dance and interact with teachers and friends through livestreamed classes. COVID, unfortunately, also caused a change in her parents’ employment status; they could no longer afford classes. With Allied Arts funding, Aspiring Attitudes provides Keeleigh’s family with financial aid to continue her pursuit of feeling “so proud” and to “fit in.”
