Connecting Youth and the Arts since 1994
Fundraiser & Advertising
Happy Birthday, Stageworks!
We are celebrating 17 years of Stageworks (1994), and 16 years of non-profit status (1995). Like any teenager, all we want is...cash!
What will you get for your donation? You will be supporting the continued good work of Stageworks, yay! This creates a warm, fuzzy feeling inside your heart :). We truly operate on a shoestring, but we do need your support to make puppets, costumes, pay artists, print things, and all that stuff. Additionally, your contribution is tax-deductible! If you are interested in receiving an advertisement in our upcoming programs in exchange for your donation, please see ad info below.
After you make your donation, please submit the following form:
Your Donation Can Work For You!
A great way to promote your business is to get your ad into the program of a well-attended event. Our upcoming performances of "Peer Gynt" and "Cirque" are both joint ventures with 2 of the top local organizations for youth: The Wilmington Youth Symphony and the Wilmington Ballet. We expect both events to be chock full of family audiences.
Businesses that will have success advertising in these programs include: baby/youth/pre-teen focused goods and activities, including classes, camps, toys, and clothing; services related to housekeeping and home maintenance/repair; and especially popular are ads that serve as coupons for services/restaurants/goods that are family friendly.
Your ad will be printed in both programs! That's twice the impact for a small donation.
