Help us make our Performing Arts Dreams Come True!

$2,570 of $22,000 goal
Given by 9 generous donors in around 6 months

Help make our dreams come true so that we can go to NY/LA to do performing arts workshops, Broadway shows and sightseeing!

Birkenhead, Auckland

Help us get to New York and LA and make our dreams come true by dropping in a small donation. Every dollar counts! We really want to go so that we can pursue our dreams in the performing arts! Olly and I have been singing, playing music and performing in shows from a very young age - it would be amazing to attend workshops led by industry professionals and see Broadway shows!

The first 80 sponsors will have their name included on the back of our fundraising t-shirts!

So far we have raised around $900 from busking (see video!), baking, doing chores and emptying our piggy banks! We are also hoping to run a sausage sizzle at Bunnings and sell things we don't need on TradeMe.

THE DETAILS:

A 10 day performing arts focused tour to New York and Los Angeles - two of the biggest performing arts locations in the entire world, in Sept 2025. A tour led by the Northcote College Performing Arts Faculty and supported by the team at Tour Time. Workshops, performances, sightseeing and more! The cost is approximately $11K for each student attending.

THANK YOU!

Laura & Olly

Use of funds

The $11k (approx) fees for each student include flights (international and domestic), accommodation, meals, workshops, shows and sightseeing.
