Mission: Perform 4 Purpose was formed for the charitable purpose of fostering and encouraging youth involvement in the arts in the Central New York area, by providing opportunities for live performance events that will benefit local charitable needs in our community. We seek to include events for those involved in all forms of artistic expression such as music, theater, and dance. To this end, we are committed to establishing a family-oriented organization that provides children a safe, wholesome environment where they can experience the joy and wonder of live performance, while developing skills to make better life choices and become contributing members of the community.
Target demographics: Perform 4 Purpose includes individuals of all ages and backgrounds, but takes particular interest in children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities. Our intention is to not only provide our students with the opportunity to learn and express their artistic talents, but to instill in our children the importance of giving back to the community.
Direct beneficiaries per year: At this time there are over 100 students enrolled in our programs throughout Cayuga County. They have participated in over 60 live performances to help in the fundraising efforts of other non-profit organizations contributing to over $300,000.00 in fundraising revenue.
Geographic areas served: Underserved communities in Cayuga County, New York and expanding
Programs: After School Ukelele and Guitar Workshops, Music Mentor Programs, Summer Music Camps
