We are saddened to share that our beloved founder, Robina Asti, has passed away at 99-years-old, just a few weeks shy of what would have been her 100th birthday.
Friends of The Cloud Dancers Foundation,
It is with great sadness that we inform you that our founder, Robina Asti, has passed away.
Robina, who was a WWII transgender veteran and the founder of The Cloud Dancers Foundation, died peacefully surrounded by her family. She was 99 and would have turned 100-years-old on April 7, 2021.
When Robina started the Cloud Dancers Foundation, she did so to help people who feel invisible feel seen. Because of your generous donations, we were able to grant our first wish in 2020. Robina was extremely proud to see her dream of bringing visibility to those who feel invisible start to come to life.
It is our mission now to continue her legacy.
To celebrate Robina’s nearly 100 years of life we are seeking to raise $100,000 for all her years of impacting the world and to continue the mission of the Cloud Dancers Foundation. We’re calling this ambitious endeavor our “$100k for 100 Years” goal. If you are able to donate, no amount is too small. We hope you share Robina’s story with others.
You can expect to hear more from us in the coming weeks as honor Robina on Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31) and on what would have been her 100th birthday (April 7). We are planning a public Zoom memorial and will be sharing more details on our social pages. With gratitude and optimism for the future,
The Cloud Dancers Foundation
