For many small business owners, 2025 was really difficult. We are at a point where we need to downsize and restructure a lot of our business model. Last year was abnormally slow and we're trying to get back on our feet to keep the studio running. We need to raise about $30,000 minimum to get back to a stable place and out of the current hole we are in. We have raised almost $10,000 so far and realistically need another 5-10k minimum to be "out of the woods".

We also want to formally start fundraising for our scholarship program, designed specifically to make our offerings more accessible to a wider audience. We've been funding this program entirely on our own until now, but it's getting harder to do that as we struggle with rising costs, slower seasons and a rapidly changing world. Anything helps. Whatever is raised over 15-20k will be dedicated specifically to this program and we are working on creating a nonprofit as well.

We have the best students and the best teachers ever! This is an amazing community of humans that have helped make Bend a brighter and more enjoyable place for the last 8.5 years. We started out with crowdfunding to make this dream a reality. It's been more amazing than we ever could have imagined. Help us keep going for another 8+ more!
