How do your donations help?

The Summer Performing Arts Company is a program designed to have something for everyone. Every year the number of students enrolled in SPA has increased, and the size of the program grows to fit these numbers. Continual growth has many benefits, but it also brings many more expenses. That’s why donations are such a key element of the SPA program.

Donations are used for many aspects of SPA. A scholarship fund has been established in order to help families with financial needs. We want to make sure that no student is ever turned away due to financial concerns. Donations also provide opportunities for students to work with guest performers.

SPA is an educational program that channels the energy of students into positive creativity and teamwork. These aspects, with a greater appreciation for the arts, help shape students into more active members of the Grand Forks community. At the same time, SPA provides entertainment to the area every summer.
