Help Us Live Stream!

Please help me allow my students to share their performances with family and friends who cannot attend. Sponsoring the project will help us livestream our 60+ performances each year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bracken's classroom raised $2,944

My Project

Each year, our Scholar-Artists perform in dozens of performances. Increasingly, we have had families request live-streaming options for those unable to attend. Sponsoring this project will provide us with a camera and equipment, allowing us to livestream performances, meetings, and many other public events at our fantastic school. In a year where budget cuts directly impact our students' work, capturing and showcasing the performances they are working on is essential. While this technology has existed for a while, we have never been able to fund this expense. This project will directly impact the students and families of ChiArts.
