A fundraiser for Wilmington Ballet Academy of the Dance

$335 raised from 6 donors

$250 goal

I’m Michael Payne.

I’m fundraising for Wilmington Ballet Academy of the Dance.

I have been a dancer at Wilmington Ballet since I was 8, and now at 17 years old the community has become a part of me.  The memories that we have created here will stay with me throughout my life, as well as the skills that I have learned over this time.  It’s been donations from people like you that have allowed me to follow my dreams.  Any and all donations are greatly appreciated as I look to keep my dream alive!
