Help Abigail go to FRINGE Festival in UK 2022!
Hi, my name is Abigail Friend. I am 14-years-old and officially a Sophomore! Crazy, right?! I go to Southington High School for academics and the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts/Half Day Program- Theater major (the youngest student in my department), to pursue my passion for acting.
I am trying to raise money for my trip to The Edinburgh Festival Fringe: London & Edinburgh in 2022. There are only 20-25 schools from the whole United States that are going, and my acting school (Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts) is one of them!!
I had to go through an audition process because only 20 students were accepted to go, and I AM one of those students. I am the only student from Southington (as far as I know) to go to this theater festival in the UK.
THE FRINGE is the biggest arts festival in the world! Total MADNESS!!!! I AM GOING TO PERFORM AT THE BIGGEST ARTS FESTIVAL IN THE WORLD!!!! WHAT??? PINCH ME!!!! I am sooo honored!
So please, I need help raising money for this trip. I'm only asking for a fraction of it. I'm working all summer to cover the rest of it, which is $6500 (that includes plane tickets, housing, the majority of meals, transportation, etc.)
Please help me make my dream, actually, maybe a life-changing opportunity, come true!
Every penny counts. I don't expect much. Whatever you're comfortable with donating, is truly appreciated.
Thank you so much and God Bless!
