We can’t begin to thank you all enough for your support for BFC in our EngagePitt campaign. As Nrityamala’s first charitable endeavor, we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, and we know BFC deeply appreciates your donations. We also can’t express enough our gratitude for your support of Nrityamala. Although the campaign is over, Nrityamala is forever. The 15 years this team has existed wouldn’t have been possible without your help and we hope you will continue to support us. Our gratitude is immense, and we hope this note conveys at least a bit of that emotion. 

With that, the 2020-21 Executive Board signs off and welcomes the 2021-22 E-Board:

Captains: Mansi Avunoori & Krishna Nayak

Business Managers: Stuthi Iyer & Yamini Yepuri

Senior Advisors: Jothika Gorur & Nithya Kasibhatla

Calling for all hands on deck! Only one day remains for our Engage Pitt campaign and we can’t make the final push without your help; the Birmingham Free Clinic needs your support! 

We also want to take a moment to congratulate all graduates, especially our Nrityamala members past and present! Give our Instagram a like at: https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9YTeMl79N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link.

We’ve met our goal and exceeded it by some, but we want to tell you that it’s not over yet! Our Engage Pitt campaign will be running for just under two more weeks and your support is crucial to providing patients at the Birmingham Free Clinic with the best care possible. Since this is our first year running a crowdfunding campaign through the Engage Pitt portal, we set an achievable goal for ourselves; however, we fully hope to continue fundraising till June 5th at 11:59 PM! Thank you again for your support and #hollahollanrityamala :)

Thank you to everyone who was able to tune into Nrityapriya yesterday and for your contributions! Our campaign will be open for three more weeks, so please encourage your family and friends to donate :)

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who made this event possible, including our wonderful team, Dhirana, SPIFPA, Mythri Sundar, Akash Ramalingam, and many others. It was so exciting and meaningful for us to finally share everything we’ve worked on this year!

Hello Everyone!

We are so grateful for your donations to BFC via our Engage Pitt campaign! And we are so excited to announce that we are now being sponsored by the Srinivasa Prasad International Foundation for Performing Arts, otherwise known as SPIFPA!

SPIFPA is dedicated to promoting South Asian Performing Arts among North American Youth. It has been the lead sponsor and offered great support annually in promoting the Dhirana program, starting from its early years. SPIFPA also sponsors the Traditionality Award to those Dhirana winning teams that present the highest level of classical content in their presentations. We are so grateful to them for their support and contributions toward our efforts!

With that, we now have our livestream link for the showcase! Please join us on May 15th at 6PM at: https://youtu.be/hM93IRy4yIA and continue to spread the word about the event :)
