Keep Leap of Joy's Programs Alive for Austin Kids
Dear Friends and Supporters,
We are reaching out to you today with a heartfelt plea for support for our nonprofit organization, Leap of Joy. Our mission is to provide enriching dance and theater activities after school for Title One students in Austin, Texas, many of whom face significant challenges due to limited resources and opportunities. Unfortunately, due to recent funding cuts, we find ourselves struggling to keep our programs running.
Our after-school activities are not just programs; they are lifelines for our students. They offer a safe, supportive environment where children can explore their interests, develop new skills, and build friendships. Our focus on Dance and Performing Arts is particularly vital, as it empowers students to express themselves, gain confidence, and find joy in creativity. These activities are essential in keeping them engaged and out of trouble, especially in a world filled with distractions and pressures that can lead them down the wrong path.
Our dedicated team works tirelessly to create fun and educational experiences that inspire creativity and foster personal growth. However, without sufficient funds, we risk losing the very programs that make such a positive impact on our students' lives.
We kindly ask for your support in helping us raise the necessary funds to sustain our after-school program. Your generous contributions will directly fund:
- Dance and Performing Arts Programming: To provide students with opportunities to explore movement, storytelling, self-expression and perform in a theater.
- Arts and Crafts Supplies: To cultivate creativity and self-expression in various forms.
- Wellness Equipment: To promote teamwork, healthy lifestyles, and nutritional snacks.
- Educational Resources: To support academic enrichment and tutoring.
- Field Trips: To provide experiences that broaden horizons and inspire dreams such as performing in the community.
Every dollar counts, and your support will make a real difference in the lives of these children. Together, we can ensure that they have a safe place to grow, learn, and thrive.
Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign and sharing our message with your network. With your help, we can continue to provide these vital programs and keep the spirit of joy alive for our students. Thank you for believing in our mission and for your generous support.
With gratitude,
Nina Shaw
