Meet Our Dancer: Laura Sa'o
Dearest Gentle Reader,
It is often said that the finest qualities are passed from one generation to the next, and in the case of Laura Sa'o, it appears a heart for serving others runs in the family.
Following in the footsteps of her father, who served in the military, Laura found her own way to show up for people through immigration work, a field she has dedicated more than a decade to.
A Northland girl since the age of 12, Kansas City is not simply where Laura lives. It is home.
But there is far more to this lady than her work.
Laura is an adventurous traveler, a lifelong learner, and the devoted dog mom of one slightly crazy seven-year-old companion. She approaches life with curiosity and a determination to continually grow into the very best version of herself.
And now, dear reader, her latest adventure shall take her somewhere entirely new:
The ballroom.
When Laura discovered Dancing For Heroes, she saw an opportunity to do something fun, challenge herself, and, most importantly, finally fulfill a desire she has carried for some time: to give back to the community that has been home for so many years.
So she said yes.
Yes to the dancing.
Yes to raising awareness.
Yes to raising funds.
And yes to showing up for children and families facing pediatric cancer.
Perhaps Laura's father taught her more than she realized.
Because whether through her career, her community, or now the ballroom, one thing remains beautifully consistent:
Laura shows up for people.
And this season, dear reader, she is showing up for our Heroes.
A new adventure. A meaningful purpose. Dancing For Heroes.
