Stephanie Addorisio needs your support.
The 22-year-old Stouffville resident is in the hunt to be a part of the Toronto Raptors Dance Pak group for the upcoming National Basketball Association season.
A former competitive dancer, Addorisio was among 250 women who attended the group’s inaugural auditions to fill nine open spots in July.
From that group, eight were chosen. Another eight, including Addorisio, are among those vying for one last spot to be determined through a You Pick the Pak contest.
Now, it is up to the public to see if Addorisio can make the final cut.
“It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the courage before,” she said. “When I went to a Raptors game and watched the Dance Pak I said to myself this was something I wanted to be a part of.”
Voting, which began Aug. 6 and concludes Aug. 19, is done online at: http://raptorspickthepak.web.mlsecontests.com
