Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Sabrina is an actress, national champion ballroom dancer, and the founder of the Sabrina Schoenberg RES Foundation. Sabrina was one of the first living people in the United States to be diagnosed with RES and GLHS. Sabrina graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in acting. Sabrina travels around the world as a competitive ballroom dancer. She has defied several odds, training with some of the top coaches and professionals in the ballroom dance industry, and has become a national and regional ballroom dance champion. When she is not acting, ballroom dancing, and training for the adaptive CrossFit games, she teaches children in the arts. Since Sabrina was a child, it has been her goal to start a foundation to make people more aware of RES, GLHS, and similar silent disabilities. “I want to tell my story and inspire others to go beyond the self-imposed, medically-imposed, or socially-imposed limits that have been set for them. I want others to know that even if the odds are not in your favor and people doubt your ability to do something, you can do whatever you put your mind to and accomplish your dreams.” In May of 2023, Sabrina used her college graduation money to start the Sabrina Schoenberg RES Foundation.

The SABRINA SCHOENBERG RES FOUNDATION aims to: (1) to inspire individuals with Rhombencephalosynapsis and Gomez Lopez Hernandez Syndrome to go beyond the limits that have been set for them, and (2) to give scholarships to children and adults with these disorders so they can get the therapies and afford activities that will improve their lives. With the help of your generosity, the foundation We’ll be able to :
– WORK WITH MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE CONDITION.
– RAISE MONEY TO PROVIDE GRANTS TO INDIVIDUALS WHO NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE SO THEY CAN AFFORD THE THERAPY AND ACTIVITIES THAT CAN HELP THEM THRIVE
– RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT RES AND GLHS AND THE IMPACT SILENT DISABILITIES HAVE ON THE INDIVIDUALS WHO LIVE WITH THEM

We’re starting the fun BEFORE the event with
The FADS Greatest Race
We’ve split 12 FADS International Dance Council
Members into 4 teams of 3 to see which team
can enroll the most participants in VIC.
They’ll report from the field each week
on their progress, and the winning team
gets a cash prize, a traveling trophy
and (of course) bragging rights!
Follow along to see all the shenanigans,
ribbing, and fun that’s sure to ensue...
which team are you rooting for?
And of course, join the fun at VIC - there’s still plenty
of time before the January 8 deadline...
it’s virtually that easy!
