The Hope series: for the missing peace
fundraising campaign


Join us November 2017- March 2018

Come together through a series of fun events for all ages!
 

The HOPE Series fundraising proceeds will make The Missing Peace possible by going directly towards performer fees, production costs, and video documentary fees.

The Missing Peace, a Shana Simmons Dance production, is a full length dance performance dedicated to those who have been affected by Alzheimer's Disease, suicide, and struggle with self-identity.
Created by choreographers Jamie Erin Murphy, Brady Sanders, & Shana Simmons, The Missing Peace will weave together three works that invoke hope, empathy and inspire action. Together, we can create change and help support others.
