Please accept our deepest gratitude for helping us exceed our goal of raising $6,000 to provide free arts experiences for area schoolchildren! Thanks to your generous support, we are continuing to build resources to support even more opportunities.

Thanks to you, we're 68 percent of the way to our goal of $6,000 to fund arts experiences for the youth of our region!

According to the Americans for the Arts, students with an education that includes rich arts experiences have higher GPAs and standardized test scores, as well as lower dropout rates, regardless of socio-economic status.

Your donation will not only improve the lives of our children, it will ensure a more successful tomorrow for all of us.

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone, for getting us half way to our goal amount so quickly! Your amazing response to ensure exposure to the arts for our region’s children is heartwarming and humbling!
