What does my donation fund?

Proceeds from SamFest donations create yearly scholarships in Sam’s name for young dancers at The Studio of Performing Arts in Grover Beach, Sam's childhood dance studio. In addition, proceeds are donated to The Pablove Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, educates and empowers cancer families, and improves the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music, and arts programs.

Please consider making a secure online donation today to support our cause and continue Sam's legacy!
