In September, I was honored to be a part of PURE NYC's (http://purenyc.org) extraordinary dance-theater event PURE Reflections: Beauty Reimagined, a collaborative multimedia work exploring body image and personal demons.

The response to its debut performance was overwhelming:

PURE chapters throughout the US want to produce the show locally, and educators want to bring its empowering message into NYC's high schools.

But before that can happen, we must mount the production again.

Because the multimedia show included live music, electronic visuals, custom wardrobe and set design, it cost over $3000 to produce just one evening!

It will cost OVER $1500 to do it again.

You can help us by donating even a few tax-deductible dollars here: http://www.purenyc.org/support_us.html
