US Bank Awards $10,000 Grant for Arts for Youth
Children can learn how to act, dance and sing; express their creativity and artistic talent; and experience the arts and performances at the LPAC. Some receive firsthand instruction from artists and musicians in their schools, while others are able to participate in a theatrical performance.
“We are very appreciative of U.S. Bank’s continued support of the LPAC Foundation and our mission to enrich the lives of students in our community through arts education,” said Steven Derryberry, LPAC Foundation Board President.
In addition to pursuing and acquiring grants, the LPAC Foundation maintains a multifaceted giving program for donors of all levels. In partnership with the community, the foundation provides: ticket scholarships and bus funding assistance to thousands of Antelope Valley students; funds outreaches and workshops on local school campuses; and enables contributions towards capital and facility enhancements at LPAC, thus providing a beautiful venue which will continue to serve the community for decades to come.
