“I started contributing monthly to Shumka when I was a dancer… I was able to have these incredible performances and tours and such a high calibre of teaching, and I felt that if everyone gave just a little bit, it would add up to something substantial, and be really good for Shumka. To put on these incredible of shows, you need to have a dependable funding source. It’s so, so important. It’s important to give back to your community, and why not to the company that has given me so much.”

Maria Rumohr joined Shumka in 2007 and danced for about a decade. She was the first donor to give to Shumka on a monthly basis, to provide stable, ongoing support. Thank you, Maria.
