Sara Gilkey

Dear Friends and Family,

As you know I am a passionate dancer, and this year I was accepted into Magnify Dance Ensemble through a rigorous audition. Through MDE throughout the year, you will find me in rehearsal for one of the two productions our company stages annually or working to improve my dance technique. I also get to participate in other mentorship and leadership programs and serve the community with fellow dancers in our community outreaches.

Because MDE is a non-profit dance company, my opportunities to perform are limited by the amount of money we can raise. Ticket sales do not quite cover the costs of our productions, so we also participate in fundraising and are blessed by sponsorships from our friends/families and community partners.

Will you please help me go Beyond the Barre, to further our opportunities, & provide excellence in dance performances and training to myself and our community?

About this fundraiser:

For dancers, going from the barre to the stage means putting our training in action and seeing our dreams come to life! This is what we do at Magnify Dance Ensemble.

Our annual production of Christmas Joy will be presented for the 38th time this December. We are thrilled that our humble organization was able to weather the challenges of the past years and are so grateful to the community support that keeps us on stage and sharing inspiration with our community.

MDE was founded in 1981 and is a New Mexico non-profit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to develop excellence in dancers through inspired service and performance.

Will you please help us meet our fundraising goal, so we can continue to reach Beyond the Barre? Please know that no amount is too small. Your ongoing support is truly appreciated!

Your donations will help pay for:

  • Christmas Joy & future performances
  • Costuming, choreography & creating
  • Company fixed expenses
