Donate to our 2024
Go Fund Me campaign

After months of rehearsals, Sambaxé dancers will share their passion for Brazilian culture on Sunday May 26th in the annual Carnaval San Francisco Grand Parade! Held in the Mission District, it’s the largest multi-cultural celebration on the West Coast.

Our goal is to raise $5000 to fund Sambaxé's participation in this year’s parade.

Your donation will:

  • assist with group participation expenses (ex: sound system rental)

  • subsidize individual participation for youth members

  • subsidize individual participation for adult members who need financial assistance

Inclusivity is at the heart of Carnaval and Sambaxé founder, Raffaella, is determined that no one is turned away if they don’t have the funds. Your donation is critical to keeping the culture and traditions of Carnaval alive and accessible in our community!

In 2022 and 2023, Sambaxé was crowned 1st Place Winner in the Brazilian Category, and with your help, we are excited to perform again this year! No donation is too small in supporting our cultural celebration.

We invite you to support us at the parade on Sunday, May 26th!

With love, gratitude and Axé,

Sambaxé
