DENVER, CO – We are so thankful for the incredible support we have received from our alumni, family, friends, and fans that helped “elevate life performance” in 2018.
Tuesday, November 27th is widely known as Giving Tuesday where people all over the world will celebrate generosity by giving their time, talent and treasure. We encourage our Blue Knights Alumni, Fans, and Supporters to consider Ascend Performing Arts when participating in Giving Tuesday this year.
Our goal is to surpass last year’s success, but we need your help to make it happen. Every gift matters, whether it’s $5, $10 or $50; it makes a collective impact when we all work together. Thank you for your support of the performing arts!
