Strength in Community, Grace in Grief This past Saturday, The Roppolo–Ash Family faced a sudden and profound loss. In the middle of recital picture day, our talented photographer and selfless friend lost her father unexpectedly—while she was doing what she loves most: capturing memories and serving our dance families. In moments like these, community matters. We’ve created this fundraiser as a way to stand beside the Ash Family—with care, gratitude, and support—as they navigate this next chapter with both heartbreak and hope. Let’s rally around this family with compassion, creativity, and heart. If you feel led, please donate, share, and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
