While on a family vacation in 1999, Liza Bercovici received the dreadful news that her 13-year-old daughter Gabriella was killed in an accident. It became clear to Bercovici that she couldn't return to work as a family lawyer and that she needed to do something to memorialize her daughter, who loved to dance. Bercovici tells host Giselle Fernandez that she created the Gabriella Foundation — now called Everybody Dance LA! — despite having no previous nonprofit experience. The low-cost after-school dance program, which has expanded to 28 locations, serves disadvantaged youth in Los Angeles, and every child who participates has gone on to college.
