Each year Young Audiences holds two benefits to support our programming.
Our Fundraising Luncheon is geared towards individual donors, promoting
lifelong relationships with our organization. Our Dinner and Show
Benefit gives corporate sponsors the opportunity to become more involved
while enjoying an evening out.
The show has been chosen for Young Audiences 2008 Dinner and
Show Benefit. Join us on Friday, March 28th for a cocktail reception
and silent auction, dinner and a rave-review show! The evening
will begin at Solera Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis with

Our Annual Fundraising Luncheon is held at the Metropolitan Ballroom
in St. Louis Park. Thank you to all who attended our 2007 event
and gave their support to Young Audiences. We are truly fortunate
that our supporters recognize the impact that our programs have
in our children’s educational and personal development.
Thank you again for helping us provide Arts for Kids and Tools

students during residencies with Young Audiences artists Timothy
Hassenstein, Jim Mondloch and Linda Moraal. Students from Meadowbrook
Elementary School performed a dance they learned while in residency
