Dear Friends and Family,
I’m sure you have heard me talk about Young Artists of America at Stathmore. (Insert a sentence or two about how we have affected your life. Using specific examples is always helpful.) As part of their end-of-year fundraiser, they are asking members of their community like me to help reach their lofty goal of $45,000.
YAA is an independent, non-profit organization with a limited budget that doesn’t always correspond with the big dreams they have for their talented students. Your donation, no matter the size, can help them make a student’s dream a reality. Here are some examples of dreams that have become reality for YAA students in recent years:
• STUDYING WITH WORLD CLASS MENTORS LIKE JASON ROBERT BROWN, STEVEN SCHWARTZ, AND THIS YEAR’S ALAN MENKEN
• 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
It is through the generosity of people like you that Young Artists of America at Strathmore is able to continue its high quality artistic programming, provide unique educational experiences for their students like the ones above, attract the highest caliber of mentors possible for their students, and provide tuition assistance to students who would not otherwise be able to participate.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation at this link in any amount you feel comfortable. Please note my name in the donation form so the donation is attributed toward my fundraiser - top fundraisers get the chance to meet Alan Menken!
Thank you so much!
