Help me give my students BMX sound and Hercules lighting equipment to enhance our school play and support all auditorium programs including dance chorus and assemblies creating a professional space for learning creativity and community engagement.
We love our students for their creativity, their courage to try new things, and their willingness to support one another. Whether they’re stepping onto the stage for the first time or helping behind the scenes, they bring heart, humor, and dedication to everything they do. They take pride in their work and thrive when given the chance to express themselves.
This equipment will help them shine both, literally and figuratively.
With proper lighting and sound, their voices will be heard and their performances will be seen clearly, allowing them to share their stories with confidence. It also gives students hands-on experience with professional tools, opening doors to new interests in technical theater, production, and design. Most importantly, it shows them that their efforts matter and that their community believes in their potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
