✨ Nutcracker Tea Party with City Youth Matrix ✨
What a magical evening at LEAD. We had the honor of hosting City Youth Matrix and their families for a Nutcracker Tea Party filled with dancing, crafts, holiday treats, and a special performance from our Nutcracker dancers.
For those who may not know, City Youth Matrix is a local nonprofit dedicated to helping families with limited resources access extracurricular activities, enrichment programs, and community opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. They remove barriers such as cost, transportation, and awareness so every child has the chance to explore, grow, and discover their passions. Their mission is incredibly meaningful, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support the work they do in our community.
Thank you to our incredible volunteers including Jen Reidinger, Maria Milder, Lucia Hall, and Valerie Duncan for helping bring this event to life. A very special thank you to Elizabeth and Vinny Tabbachino for preparing and catering the dinner and refreshments.
And thank you to Ms. Michaela and Ms. Renny for supporting our dancers and guiding the families through the evening.
Thank you to City Youth Matrix for partnering with us to bring dance and enrichment to families in our community. Moments like these remind us that dance is more than movement. It's a gift that brings us together. ❤️
City Youth Matrix, Frederick Maryland
