For youth in Northeast Ohio, being talented and hardworking does not always equal opportunity. ELEVĀTED Dance Headquarters (501c3) is striving to change that. We develop talented and hard-working dancers by offering elite, affordable training and life-changing opportunities that open doors to the professional world. Our dancers are doing incredible things, and we want to give them every opportunity to continue rising. In the past few years, our dancers and alumni have:

• Performed in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

• Toured with Jason Derulo, 50 Cent, Ciara, Busta Rhymes, & Missy Elliott

• Won 1st place in the US & 2nd place in the world at World of Dance Summit

• Performed in Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

• Danced with The Weeknd at the Grammy Awards

• Featured in MGK’s “Pressure” music video

Now we are asking for your help to continue this momentum. This year we are raising $27,000 to directly support our RISE team dancers. These amazing dancers, aged 7-18, compete and perform locally, regionally, and nationally. After winning overall high score and numerous awards at DanceMakers Regionals in Cleveland, the whole team has qualified to compete at DanceMakers Nationals in Myrtle Beach this summer, and have the opportunity to train with industry professionals and to win prize money, additional scholarships,

and further opportunities in their dance careers. $17,000 will fund each of our 36 dancer’s entrance fees. Additionally, another $10,000 will fund another year of our own scholarship

program in which 30% of our RÎSE dancers already benefit from. Your support is critical to expanding our reach. We invite our community to support in these

efforts and help us continue to bring these opportunities to Cleveland dancers! Please consider one of the sponsorship packages listed below. For donations to our gala raffles, or a partnership or collaboration outside of our sponsorships, please contact us directly at EDHfundraising@gmail.com

Thank you for believing in our dancers and the power of the arts, and we look forward to seeing you on April 26th!
