Help Paula Chacón get to A Cappella Academy

This fundraiser is organized by A Cappella Academy, Inc..

Tax deductible

My name is Paula Chacón, and I am a 17-year-old singer from Veracruz, Mexico. Last November, I auditioned for A Cappella Academy, a 10-day vocal camp held near Los Angeles, California. Only the top 13% are admitted, so when I was officially accepted, I was extremely grateful and excited to embark on this journey alongside less than 100 other vocalists.

I sing since I was 4 years old, since some friends told me about A Cappella Academy, I started researching what it was about, I started looking for videos on YouTube and it seemed wonderful to me, the voices, the talent of all the participants; It is incredible what can be achieved with voice, choreography, cultural diversity, and the campus. Now going to Academy is my greatest wish, since in my country I will never have an opportunity like this.

I realized the amazing nature of a cappella, and how much it would impact my life as a whole. I have been studying music since I was 7 years old, I love music and singing is my life. I rehearse every day, and the fact that I have the opportunity to even share my love for this art with people holding the same values, proves that this isn't something I can pass up.

This is my video audition with which I was accepted.

That is the reason why I am here. Tuition for camp comes up to $2,800 (not including airfare to and from LA from Mexico). It is my ultimate goal to raise enough money to attend camp without putting any financial strain on my family, my parents are not able to cover the tuition since they don’t earn enough money to pay for it, especially in another country.

The littlest amount goes the longest way, and if you can't donate anything, please SHARE this page to ultimately help spread the word of my goal to more people.

The deadline for any fundraising efforts for the A Cappella Academy is March 31st, so please, help me spread the word and help me get to California in June!
