Arts Ed NJ Season of Giving
|
Arts Ed NJ begins this new year with appreciation and gratitude! THANK YOU, to the many loyal ambassadors who made a
year end gift in 2017. In the final six weeks of the year we raised $14,000 together! We heard directly from supporters, and learned why Arts Ed NJ is so important to them.
One ambassador, Tiffany Festa-Sneddon, created her own fundraiser for Arts Ed NJ on #GivingTuesday. Afterwards, Tiffany
shared her views about arts education, “ I personally have seen the arts take my own students onto amazing paths of their own. This is arts education. The power is real and the time is now.” Though #GivingTuesday offers every ambassador a special opportunity to be part of a global day of giving, throughout the entire giving season we received support from more than 50 new donors.
