$11,000 CELEBRATING OUR 11TH SEASON With the tremendous help from our amazing volunteers, incredible parents, loyal patrons, and community sponsors, along with our brilliant teaching artists, staff, and students, we successfully completed our 11th season of PAW! It really does take a village. We made some big changes this year, most notably having Southwestern Michigan College as the host for ALL FIVE of our workshops. To celebrate this milestone, our 501(c)3 nonprofit organization has decided to launch a fundraiser campaign to raise $11,000 (in honor of our 11th season)! Together, we continue to grow and impact our surrounding communities in amazing ways! Consider donating today! Thank you for supporting performing arts education in Southwest Michigan and beyond! |
BERRIEN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ARTS CHALLENGE 2021
It was a tough year for the arts in our community. The first Berrien Community Arts Challenge raised over $200,000 during the height of the pandemic in 2020. Now, partnering with BCF, a group of donors have issued a similar challenge to help nine organizations with the funding we need to re-open and continue to thrive! Please join us in coming together with our community organizations to raise funds in another wonderful Arts Challenge!
