Help Kaitlyn Raise $1,000 for NAPA's Future Performers

I have committed to a goal of raising $1,000 for The Holly Chin Natick Academy of Performing Arts and I hope you can help me reach it!

When I was six years old, I did my first show with The Holly Chin Natick Academy of Performing Arts, and I was SO nervous. I had always been pretty shy, and trying something new like theater was scary. But I had my best friend and my cousins with me, and little by little, I started coming out of my shell. Holly was always so welcoming and made rehearsals fun, even though we worked really hard. I especially loved the singing, and I got to meet so many amazing people along the way.

Now that I’m older, I haven’t been in a show for a while, but NAPA is still such a big part of my life. I’ve continued with music—I play the flute and piano—but I love staying involved by volunteering at the shows, helping my mom build set pieces, and, of course, watching all the performances. NAPA isn’t just a theater program; it’s like a family.

Being part of this theater community has helped me grow in so many ways. It gave me confidence, lifelong friends, and some of my best memories. I’ll always be grateful for everything I learned there!

Putting on these productions, however, takes a lot of resources, and NAPA is working hard to raise the funds needed to continue providing opportunities for young performers like me. Each production costs between $20,000 and $30,000, covering essentials like licensing fees, sets, costumes, lighting, and sound. To help support this effort, I’ve set a personal fundraising goal of $1,000 to be raised by April 15, 2025, and I would be so grateful for your support!

Your donation—no matter the size—will make a big difference. It will help NAPA keep tuition affordable, expand its programming, and continue offering a creative space for aspiring actors.

Thank you so much for considering supporting this cause that means so much to me. Your generosity will help NAPA continue to inspire and shape young performers like me, and I truly appreciate any help you can give.

With gratitude,

Kaitlyn
