The Perseverance Project - Fundraiser!

For those of you who may not know me, my name is Reese Leif, and I'm a Theatre student at the University of Michigan concentrating in Performing Arts Management. In my freshman year of high school, my father passed away from leukemia, a disease he had been fighting on and off for a number of years. Over the past few years, I had been thinking of a way to raise money to support research and treatment in this area, all while incorporating my own passions and including the community I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by here in Houston. Thus, The Perseverance Project was born.

The Perseverance Project is a one-night-only musical cabaret intended to highlight college-aged artists voices and raise money to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the process. This project is supported in part through the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Eileen Weiser EXCEL Fund. The performance itself will be occurring in June, but I wanted to go ahead and create this fundraiser now, in case anyone is feeling particularly charitable!
