The only way KCFAA is able to positively affect the lives of so many Kansas City residents of all ages and backgrounds is through your generosity.
Becoming a Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey member helps us to continue our mission: to make dance accessible to all people by presenting the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Ailey II, teaching young people critical life skills through dance, and modeling interracial and multicultural community partnerships.
Our year-round arts education programs bring life-changing opportunities to the lives of more than 20,000 people each year with a monthly, annual, or one time gift. By going into schools, offering workshops, and inviting children to participate, we actively demonstrate and encourage positive life skills such as focus, teamwork and discipline. Most of all, they will learn to broaden their idea of who they are and who they can become.
“You can support KCFAA’s vital work in Kansas City by becoming a member. Your membership provides a strong financial base for KCFAA’s year-round programs and opens opportunities for you to meet people from culturally diverse backgrounds.” — Sharon Hoffman
