En Pointe for Ava is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children diagnosed with brain cancer. Our mission is to increase access to treatment for families with children diagnosed with life-threatening brain cancer. Pediatric brain cancer is a rare disease with only a few available clinical trail sites across the country - forcing many families to travel many miles each month. The financial devastation is significant and forces families to make unthinkable decisions. We know this struggle because Ava, our daughter, battled brain cancer for 21 months before laying down her sword when she passed away June 15, 2022. She was only 14 years old. She was also a beautiful and talented dancer with City Ballet of San Diego. En Pointe Against Brain Cancer is a performance at the Grand Ritz Theater in Escondido filled with dance and hope followed by a dessert reception and Ava's signature drink. Every dollar raised with go directly to families who need it the most. Tickets are available on our website: enpointeforava.org and ticket prices start at $35.00.
