Since November 2006, Shoot for Change has raised over $131,000 for various nonprofit organizations. In January 2012, Walter Grio created the Shoot for Change Scholarship at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School at American Ballet Theatre. Based on merit and need, this scholarship was awarded to one student in September 2012 to study at the JKO School. After her training, she was invited to join ABT as an apprentice in November 2013 and then became a member of the corps de ballet in June 2014. While in New York, Walter Grio invited her to several shows during Fashion Week and it turned out she was a huge fan of fashion. She has now written several pieces for Fashiontographer. You couldn't have drawn a more perfect circle. In September 2013, a second scholarship was awarded.
