Since 1958 the Blue Knights have provided a variety of educational opportunities through its many ensembles and programs. Now, as Ascend Performing Arts, thousands of young people – across the country and around the world – have had the experience of a lifetime as a result of their involvement with us.

By contributing financial gifts or your time to Ascend Performing Arts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, you help shape the lives of young people for the better. There is deep gratification knowing how you have helped them further their goals, achieve their dreams, and pursue excellence in the performing arts.

Why Support Ascend?
