As the day winds down, we've been reflecting on the amazing season we've had at Footlights. The work we do is only possible because of each of you. Thank you for your endless support!
3 hours remain to give if you're able! Every gift goes into making incredible magic both on and off stage for the youth in our community.

Today, our community has the power to change lives through the arts. Your gift doesn't just fund costumes or sets. It gives a shy child confidence, a young leader a place to grow, families a community, and every student the chance to discover who they can become. For 52 years, Footlights has been there for all of you. Today, we're asking you to be there to support us as we continue to grow.
Whether you give $10, $50, or simply share this post, you become part of every standing ovation, every breakthrough, and every dream that begins on our stage. Together, let's ensure every young person has a place where they are seen, heard, and celebrated.

Because of supporters like you, we're building a stronger, more creative community one young person at a time. Every class, every rehearsal. every performance...Theatre creates connections that last long after the curtain falls.

The audience sees opening night. We see hundreds of hours of preparation.
Volunteers. Families. Teaching artists. Students learning together.
Every production is built by an entire community that believes young people deserve a place to shine.
That's the magic your support helps create when you remember us on Erie Gives Day.

Rehearsals build more than a performance. They build confidence. They build tomorrow's leaders. They build lifelong friendships. Today we're remembering our dear friends as we plan for the future.
When you support youth theatre, you're investing in young people who will carry these lessons into classrooms, workplaces, and our community. If youth theatre touched your life, consider supporting us on Erie Gives Day!
