We are so excited that our Hip Hop and Hope Virtual Gala is less than three weeks away!
We have an ambitious goal of raising $30,000 to bring our innovative beatboxing, MCing and music production, breakin’, and Hip Hop visual arts programs to under-resourced communities throughout this year and into the next. Your support is crucial to providing some calm, stress relief, and continuity to young people navigating this unprecedented and challenging year.
As we look ahead to a world forever changed by this pandemic, there’s never been a greater need for fun, interactive, and fully virtual arts programming for youth and disabled people quarantined in their homes. Can you raise $250+ to empower our young people to advocate for a better tomorrow through music?
YOU can support under-resourced and disabled youth by giving them the gift of BEAT’s programming to help close the achievement gap. You can show them that their voice and abilities matter, even in the midst of a pandemic. Setting up a fundraising page is a simple and immediate way to increase your impact on quality arts education.
Any team or individual that raises $250 or more will automatically become a BEAT Sponsor, earning a tile of recognition that will be featured during our Virtual Gala! Become a BEAT Supporter today!
