Hi All,

As you may or may not be aware, my name is Zac Healey and I am the owner of Ruff Diamond Academy in Hartlepool. We are an award winning hip hop and street dance school, who have just placed 7th in the world last year in Arizona and are due to compete again in August 2018 for hip hop international title. Our children are age range 8 to 17 year olds.

There are 3 UK teams, two from London and us! Which will be competing for the UK in this prestigious event, that will be streamed all over the world. To get to the final we had to compete against numerous other crews in Portsmouth this year, in order to qualify for the World hip hop International in Arizona.

We are finally putting the North East on the map!

In order to do this we are currently trying to raise £10k to pay for 7 of our dancers to fly to Arizona to compete, we are having bag packs at supermarkets and performing at Intu to provide some entertainment for shoppers and raise money for the kids and awareness of the dance school. However, we need your help to make this goal a reality!

On behalf of the children at Ruff Diamond Academy I’d like to request your support to achieve their dreams of competing in Arizona. We are needing donors to sponsor, or fundraise with us to make this a reality.

Every little helps, anything you can spare can help us.

We thank you in advance for your support! Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to help the children. Any support is more than helpful.

Zac
