Give BIG Extension

GiveBig is extended to May 15th. BIG THANKS to all donors who got us within $3,000 of our goal. All donations made this week will be matched dollar-per-dollar up to $1,500. Please give what you can to help us reach our goal of $10,000.

This money is vital to help the directors start off the next school year strong and to purchase basic supplies and provide educational support for all of our students.

Thank you for your support of the Ballard Performing Arts Program.
