Although funding for students in the arts has always been a challenge, Brockport Dance faculty member James Hansen has been speaking to a number of talented students and their parents during the past year who are having to postpone coming to school because of the economy and a lack of financial aid. To do something to address this, James and his partner Brian decided to host a Friends of Brockport Dance scholarship fundraiser in their home at 249 Dartmouth Street in Rochester on Monday November 2nd from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Wine, cheese and other wonderful tidbits will be provided. All profits from this event will be used to help fall 2010 first year undergraduate students in the Department of Dance.
Come out and help support new dancers who are trying to reach their potential in Brockport's world-class Department of Dance. The tax-deductible donation for the fundraiser is $25 per person. Checks can be made out to "Friends of Brockport Dance" with “fundraiser” in the memo line, will be accepted at the event or can be mailed in advance to:
Jackie Thomas
Department of Dance
College at Brockport
350 New Campus Drive
Brockport, NY 14420
Please RSVP via email to James Hansen if you plan to attend. If scheduling prevents you from attending, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to this cause and sending it to the address above. Of course, donations larger than $25 will be happily accepted at both places as well!
