DONATE TODAY! | Send a Kid to Camp

Summer's here, and The Arts Center's vacation arts camps are in full swing!
 
Already, we have given camp scholarships to more than two dozen kids who wouldn't have a chance otherwise to experience the discovery, excitement and growth that are the hallmarks The Arts Center’s camps.  And that number will grow a lot before the summer is over. 

There’s just one problem: Many, many more kids and teens apply for scholarships than the fund can cover.

That's why we need your help today! All it takes is your modest donation of even $5, $10 or $20 to make a world of difference for a family in your community.
 
Thankfully, our generous friends at KeyBank will match every dontation up to $4500! 
 
But we still need to match those funds. And, to do that, we are asking you to help. Your contribution -- of any amount -- will make a huge difference!
