Be the Light! Your Donation Powers Our Performances!

Help me give my students stage equipment and recording equipment for their dance concerts. We have 6 to 7 performances and our auditorium does not have working equipment. These items will be use for inside and outside performances.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The stage lights and equipment we're requesting will greatly enhance our students’ learning by allowing them to experience the full spectrum of stage production. Lighting plays a crucial role in creating an engaging performance, and with proper equipment, our students will have the chance to learn essential skills like lighting design, timing, and the technical aspects of performance production.

These tools will provide students with real-world experience, helping them develop their creativity and technical knowledge, while fostering an environment where they can fully express their artistic talents.

Our aim is to offer a more engaging, immersive experience for both performers and audiences, while providing students with practical knowledge they can carry into future careers in the arts or technical fields.

Our students are a talented and diverse group, full of creativity, determination, and passion for the arts. They often perform with limited resources, yet consistently deliver exceptional performances. Their dedication and resilience make them stand out, and with the right equipment, they will be able to unlock even more potential. These students are not only artists but also problem-solvers, learning to work with what they have and support each other in the process. Their ability to thrive despite challenges makes them truly special.
