Our fundraising goal for this year is $50,000. Your gifts significantly impact our ability to provide scholarships for our programs to students-in-need!
In the summer of 2014 alone, we provided over $3,500 in scholarships thanks to our combined efforts. That number increased to $9,500 in 2016. (Our program expenses far exceed these numbers.)
Your gifts will enable us to significantly expand our program offerings in 2019 to include additional workshops and expanded workshop weeks, as well as musical events.
As of February 2019, we've already increased our student count five-fold!
We can only do this with YOUR help!
