HOW TO SUPPORT

What can we do to honor our darling
Raffaella Maria Stroik?

Raffaella was in love with people, with God and with ballet. We commissioned this original ballet based on her story. While the project is in production, we still need additional support to cover costs for dancers, the orchestra, stage design and sets, costumes, and event promotions. Your continued support will help ensure the show stays on track.
