REACH OUT!

Joy of Motion is reaching out to you for help.                            

Like so many nonprofit businesses, the current economy has had a severe adverse financial effect on Joy of Motion and the funding sources that have contributed to our success in the past.  While we successfully balanced our budget last year, this is proving to be impossible this year.  We are facing a substantial financial shortfall for this fiscal year.  We have already taken serious cost-cutting measures and made other very hard budget and staffing decisions to reduce overhead and generate revenue.

But it's not enough.  We are reaching out to you to help us cover a sizable projected deficit for this year.

You rely on us for the community, the amazing teachers, and the joy that dancing brings to you and your children.  Now we need to rely on you.  Our goal is to raise over $100,000 by August 31, 2009, to balance our budget and sustain Joy of Motion's curriculum and operations.

Donate TODAY.  Your help is critical for us to reach our goal.  Help Joy of Motion fund its operations so that it can continue to offer all your favorite classes and to sustain the JOY inside the studio and throughout our community.  Feel the JOY of giving for dance and the well-being of Joy of Motion.
