Our Crowdfunding Groups
It has been 30 days and our "Serious Fun for Survivors" crowdfunding project is now complete! We were thrilled to have hit our original goal two weeks ago, so we kept the project going. We asked you to help us hit a stretch goal and you delivered. We are proud to announce that this campaign has raised a total of $5,430!!
We are so thankful for your support. It is because of you that we can send underserved children and their families to our educational, kid-friendly performances, the first of which will be tonight! With the additional funds raised from the stretch goal, NYU Skirball will be able to send even more families and grow this program into next year.
If you have any questions about this campaign, please stay in touch. We will be posting more updates after the shows and we hope to see you all at NYU Skirball soon!

We are incredibly excited to announce that we hit our goal of $4,200 yesterday! It is because of you and your generosity that we did. Thank you again for helping make this project happen.
But we're not stopping there! We now have a stretch goal of $5,200 and we have 13 days to reach it. Expanding our goal means that we can keep the program going into next season and serve even more families.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign. You are the all-stars who are introducing art into the minds of young people. We cannot express enough gratitude for your support.
If you want to stay involved, there's more you can do! You can continue to share our message with your friends, family, and social network. Every donation helps us expose more children in need to the intellectual and social developmental benefits of the arts.

Thank you to everyone who has generously contributed to "Serious Fun for Survivors" so far! We are overwhelmed by the support from all of our lovely Ambassadors whose outreach has helped us raise $1125 already!
Today, we are excited to launch our brand new video featuring 3 NYU students who are helping us meet our goal. Check it out and see how your contribution is helping local children and their families. And please share with others on social media. We are excited about providing children with opportunities to experience art with their families! #NYUSkirball #NYU #RisingViolets #VioletPride #SeriousFun https://risingviolets.nyu.edu/seriousfun
