GIVING LEVELS & BENEFITS - PLEASE HELP BY GIVING TODAY !
Donate to the SoBe Institute of the Arts Annual Giving Campaign! The SoBe Arts Annual Giving Campaign is a yearly campaign which raises unrestricted contributions from individuals to help supplement the institute’s critical operating budget. Annual Fund donations help bridge the difference between what tuition and grants cover and the actual cost of educating each child and offering free and low cost professional concerts and theater productions. Donations given by December are tax deductable for the ending fiscal year as allowed by law.

Sponsor a Child in this Fall/Spring 2011/12 Program
RAY BRESLIN'S "SPONSOR A CHILD" PROGRAM
Miami Beach, FL - "Two years agor I started a sponsor a child program and have sponsored the first child by paying $450 for his summer tuition. His name is Angel Perez. He and his family were thrilled that I did this and thanked me from the bottom of their hearts. There are many other deserving students and I implore you to each use a portion of your discretionary funds to sponsor a child and encourage others you know to do the same. These kids are our future and the programs that are offered by SoBe and the free concerts that they give all through the year are a real valuable asset.
The final spring concert on May 22, 2009 drew a standing room only crowd on a weekend when most residents flee the beach. It was amazing to see how great this organization truly is for South Florida.
You still have a chance. Please join me and sponsor a kid. You can meet the student if you would like, or you can be anonymous. It is your choice but please help. These kids deserve it. I have attached a picture of Angel, his family, and me from the performance this past Saturday that finished SoBe Music's school year. If I can make the difference in just one kids life, it is well worth it but I want more and that takes you.
Thank you in advance for your support and help. SoBe Arts deserves it and so do the kids."
Ray Breslin, Collins Park Neighborhood Association
UPDATE: Ray renewed his Sponsorship of Angel Perez and other children for the Fall/Spring/Summer 2011 Music for Youth program donating $3800+.
Winter/Spring 201 Arts or Youth Program Sponsorships range from $350 for musical theaters to $950 for the music and ensemble programs.
