Dear YAA Family,

You never cease to amaze us! We humbly asked for you to help us make our $45,000 end-of-year 2019 goal as part of our #OnlyatYAA Campaign. And, in typical #OnlyatYAA fashion, you went above and beyond! Here's what you all helped us do:

  • We raised over $58,800!

  • Over half of you were first-time donors!

  • We doubled the number of supporters from last year!

  • We received a matching donation of $20,000 from angel donors!

Because you helped us accomplish so much, we can now ensure that students from all backgrounds can take part in the unique opportunities YAA provides, such as:

  • Studying with world class mentors like award-winning, Broadway composers Jason Robert Brown, Stephen Schwartz, and…this year, Alan Menken, who will join us for Beauty and the Beast on March 28, 2020, at the Music Center at Strathmore.

  • Performing alongside Broadway stars like Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Morrison

  • Taking the stage at world class venues like Strathmore and the Kennedy Center

  • Participating in EMMY Award-Winning TV Specials

Here's to an incredible 2020!

Thank You!

Rolando, Kris, Lisa, Terry, and Paul
