      • Funding to Date:
        • They’ve won the Iris Garland Program Enhancement Fund ($2000)
        • Dance Student Union hopes to donate $500 to the trip
        • She also has a Go-Fund-Me account with $50 (should we post the link on the BPK facebook page, or is it not to be used for the funding of a few students?)
