A Letter From Stacy Stotko
Monday, December 10th, 2007Again I write to you… my dear community… Brittany and I need your help.
So many of you were touched by the sweet essence of my beautiful daughter, Brittany. Her courage to save us and the terrible tragedy that took her. We knew her to be magical on stage, striking. That was the way that I remember her as she walked away from me that fatal day; illuminated with a peace beyond understanding and a dance within her walk.
In collaboration with Shira Dubrovner Artistic Director of the Mammoth Lakes Arts Center, we have begun raising the funds needed to complete Mammoth’s first ever state-of-the-art dance studio: naming it the “Brittany Marie Dance Studio.”
I have hoped for the strength to do something special for the wonderful gift of Brittany Marie. And it is with great honor that I have been given this incredible opportunity. The gift of her life has blessed my days with such love and beautiful memories. Many of which involve her love for dance.
I invite you to share with me the beauty of your memories with a special note included in your contribution. A contribution both, in honor of the sweetest dancer I have ever known and in support of the beautiful dancers of tomorrow.
My goal is 100% funding of the ($101,000) needed to complete the project by September 30th (Brittany’s birthday) she would have been 21.
With sincerest hope, I thank you… my community.
Sincerely,
Stacy Stotko
