Dear Supporter of the Arts,

Imagine a world where every young artist, musician, and performer has the opportunity to reach their full potential—regardless of financial circumstances. At Friends of School of the Arts (SOTA), we make this vision a reality. Since 1992, our all-volunteer, nonprofit organization has been dedicated to breaking down financial barriers and ensuring that need never limits opportunity for SOTA students.

Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of these talented students. Whether it’s providing musical instruments, art supplies, costumes, dance shoes, competition fees, or emergency assistance, we are there to help them thrive.

One of the most impactful ways we support students is by funding field trips and professional performances—experiences that spark inspiration, broaden horizons, and fuel dreams. Many SOTA families simply can’t afford these opportunities on their own. Last year alone, we contributed $4,910 to ensure no student missed out on these invaluable experiences. But we don’t stop there. We also propel students toward their futures by awarding scholarships—last year, we granted $15,700 in scholarships to 19 deserving seniors as they embarked on their next chapter.

Now, we turn to you. Whether through a financial donation or by volunteering your time, you can change the course of a student’s life. Every contribution, large or small, helps a young artist take one step closer to their dreams. We raise money, and we give it away—to students who need it most. But we can’t do it without your help.

Join us in shaping the future of the arts and empowering the next generation of creatives.

Donate today. Inspire tomorrow.

With gratitude,
Allison Bosworth & Lisa Kasdin
Co-Presidents, Friends of SOTA
