My Story…

Please consider donating as I embark as a charity runner for YouthPlaces in the 2025 Pittsburgh Marathon weekend!!

My cousin, fellow dance teacher, and dear friend, Katrina Hawthorne, pours her heart and soul into her job at YouthPlaces (Northside location) each day before making her way to Foxtrot to love and support our dance family. I am proud run along side her and the rest of YouthPlaces charity team for the third year in a row!

YouthPlaces creates safe spaces and experiments we that inspire young people to imagine, explore, and design their own future.


Here's what donating can provide:

$20 - provides one week of dinners for a YP youth! 

$25 - provides one youth with a YP Swag Bag (hygiene supplies, school supplies, basic necessities)

$50 - feeds 2 families for our "YP at your Door" hot meal program.  

$75 - sponsors one of our youth for a 6 week program.

$100 - sponsors a youth to play on our YP sports team.

$150 - provides 1 month of materials.


Please help me reach my goal of $500.00 as I set off to complete half marathon #24!

Donate to help Kassandra raise money for 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend’s fundraising campaign.
