Dear Friends,

When I joined Young Audiences 13 months ago, I knew the organization was empowering children with remarkable arts education programs. What I wasn’t prepared for was the incredible support from schools, businesses, foundations, non-profit partners, and people like you. This community effort ensures that kids are getting the arts and music experiences they need to reach their full potential.

You are making a difference in the creative lives of young people.

Your support lights up classrooms—rural, urban, suburban—with dancing, painting, and discovery. You give teachers and artists new tools to illuminate learning, and you make it possible for creative classroom collaborations.

Thanks to you, children are learning not just about the arts, but through the arts.

Together, we have done much to inspire and educate children in our region. We’ve served millions of students since 1958—including 77,735 in the last year alone—but as our community changes and we look to the future, we need your help to continue this vital work.

You can light up creativity for every student in 2015.

With your commitment, Young Audiences will continue to provide the essential arts programming that schools, teachers, families, and kids rely on. This season, Your financial contribution will be doubled to ensure that we can meet the needs of young people today, and build for a strong tomorrow. From digital photography to watercolor, sound engineering to African drumming, you can give the gift of creativity to classrooms and children.

Please take a moment to click and make your generous contribution to Young Audiences through the 2014 Give!Guide. Not only will your new or increased gift be doubled by The Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund, Oregon Screen Impressions will match the first $1,000 of donations made to Young Audiences through the Give!Guide.

Together we can inspire more children in the coming year!

 Sincerely,

Cary Clarke
Executive Director
