Your support is immeasurable. The impact of philanthropic gifts goes far beyond the classroom and high school experience. When a student receives a much-needed grant, a new musical instrument, art supplies they could not otherwise afford or an experience to meet and study with an accomplished artist, their trajectory into the future shifts. Their sights are set just a little higher and their ambition to succeed is boosted.
NURTURE THEIR PASSION…SUPPORT THEIR TALENT
