POSTPONEMENT OF FEBRUARY 25 LIVING DREAM ARTS DINNER AND CABARET FUNDRAISER

We regret to inform our friends and supporters that the fundraising event scheduled for Thursday, February 25th, is being postponed. Despite a stellar lineup of performers and an enthusiastic response from the broader community, we have been unable to secure the use of the venue on terms that would allow a significant share of the proceeds to flow to Living Dream Arts. Since the purpose of this event is to raise funds for our local education programs and the Peru circus tour, we cannot continue without adequate assurances that contributions will be used for their advertised purpose.

The good news is that our scrappy team is already busy rescheduling the event. We are excited to create an evening that will thrill, dazzle and inspire while also generating a needed infusion of resources for Living Dream Arts. Stay tuned for updates and prepare yourself for an extravaganza worthy of this wonderful cause.

In the meantime, we are making an urgent plea for contributions to support two immediate program needs. This past week, LDA's Vagaboom! program was notified that massive cuts to local school budgets will force the end of our partnership that provides after-school arts education at Civicorps Elementary in Oakland. For only $2000, Vagaboom! can continue to work with these 30 children through the end of the semester. And in just two weeks, LDA's Dreamtime Circus begins its three-month tour of Peru where 25 performers will volunteer their time and travel costs to entertain children and spread the circus magic to remote villages.

Our near-term goal is to raise $3000 to fill funding gaps for both of these programs. Every dollar helps, so please consider making a donation by contacting one of our organizers or using the "donate" option (major credit and debit cards accepted) at the LDA website.

We deeply appreciate your support for our programs and look forward to seeing you in person at the rescheduled cabaret event!
