Fundraising
This year OCEAN is working with Port Townsend Youth Theater Company, a non-profit created by OCEAN parents Danny & Tobi McEnerney for the sole purpose of raising funds for the OCEAN theater program.
Dear Community,
The power to change the lives East Jefferson County youths is in your hands. That may sound lofty, but it's true!
A kid who spends hours in a school office, crippled with social anxiety, transforming over 3 months into to a leading character who holds their own on a stage in front of 150 people...well...that kid is forever changed.
Kids coming from differing social, economic, and philosophical backgrounds on-stage working together as a team, becoming friends outside of the project...that's world peace.
A teacher being shocked by the dynamic performance of a student who the teacher "had never heard speak" - that is awesome!
The impact of an intense 3-month experience like this, which is a youth experience not found in Jefferson, Clallam, or even Kitsap counties is something to be proud of.
We need to raise at least $11,500 to pay for this production. If we don't raise it, yes, the production will happen. Will it be sustainable and happen again? Probably not.
Your funds go directly to sets, lights, costumes, the venue, and the professional theater artists working with our students.
The more we raise, the more this sort of experience will be available for future productions, with a hope to open the experience up to all kids in our area of the county.
Your tax-deductible donation will be processed by Port Townsend School District's contracted producer of the show, the "Port Townsend Youth Theater Company," a 501c3 non-profit created by parents of students involved in the play just for this purpose.
A truly heartfelt thank you to you!
Danny McEnerney
