Sponsor Packet - StarCross Youth Performing Arts

2015-­‐2016 SEASON Sponsor Packet
OverView
Since its incep4on in 2009, StarCross Youth Performing Arts, Inc. has served the Lehigh and Northampton coun4es with volunteer-­‐based music and performance art instruc4on. StarCross has brought almost 100 members (aged 5 -­‐ 22) to local, state and regional compe44ons -­‐ where they could gain valuable experience as musicians, dancers, ar4sts and members of a larger community. Our goal for the 2015-­‐2016 teaching year is to add 50 more members, students that would otherwise be unable to afford musical or dance instruc4on. We are dedicated to keeping our organiza4on completely volunteer-­‐based so all the funds we raise will be used to purchase goods and services that support this goal and vision. This is the third youth-­‐oriented music organiza4on started by our Execu4ve Director and founder, Roger Exposito. He, along with our dedicated (and fully volunteer) staff, are passionate about teaching new genera4ons what it means to be part of a community that honors effort, team work and the love of music and dance.
