Giving Tuesday
Today is Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement dedicated to supporting philanthropic causes dear to our hearts during the giving season. It takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year.
As we are preparing for the big milestone of our 20th year anniversary in 2026, we are using this day to launch a mini fundraising campaign through the end of this year to assist with year-end expenses and help ensure our sustainability.
We are launching the Circle of 100, a group of at least 100 people who will support the Winter Springs Performing Arts Center with at least a $100 donation by December 31, 2025.
Those who support The Circle will be recognized as the catalyst group for our 20th anniversary campaign which will be formally launched next year and tied to some new and exciting goals and projects to be announced.
Whether you are planning your end-of-year giving or just have a heart for our mission to create pathways for the youth through the arts, we are asking for your support.
Will you commit to at least $100 to help us reach a $10,000 year-end goal? We will be recognizing our Circle members and their commitment to our Giving Tuesday campaign.
Please remember, 100% of your donation will support our Youth theater efforts. To make your tax-deductible donation, please use the Donate box below.
Did you know that many employers offer matching dollars for charitable donations made by their employees? That means for every dollar you donate, your employer will match it up to a pre-determined limit. To find out if your company matches, please follow the link below, where you can also obtain the paperwork to submit the request directly to your employer.
We hope we can count on you to help make a difference through our Giving Tuesday campaign. We appreciate your support and wish you a Happy Holiday season!
Sincerely,
Shanda and Marc Batchelor
PS: No donation is too large or small!
While our campaign targets donations of $100 or more, we would greatly appreciate any amount you give to help us meet this goal before December 31, 2025.
We can't do this without YOU.

Our Fundraising Goals
This year, our goal is to raise $30,000 to support the following initiatives:
-
Scholarships for Young Performers – We believe that every child should have access to the arts, regardless of their financial situation. Your donation will help provide scholarships for students who need financial assistance to participate in our theater programs.
-
Production Costs – From costumes and props to lighting and sound, producing a high-quality show requires significant resources. Funds raised will help us cover the costs of production, ensuring that every performance is a memorable experience for both performers and audience members.
-
Educational Programming – We offer classes, workshops, and mentoring to help children develop not only as performers but as individuals. Your donation will help fund these programs, allowing us to expand our offerings and provide a more enriching experience for every child involved.
-
Facility Improvements – Our theater is the heart of our community, and it deserves to reflect the love and passion we put into our performances. Contributions will help us maintain and upgrade our facilities, ensuring a safe and inspiring environment for all involved.
Why Your Support Matters
When you donate to WSPA, you are investing in more than just a production. You are investing in the future of the arts and the young people who will carry these traditions forward. Your support gives children the opportunity to build life skills such as teamwork, communication, and resilience, all while fostering a love for the arts that can last a lifetime.
As a supporter, you help create moments of joy, laughter, and inspiration for children and families in our community. Whether you are supporting the next generation of performers or helping to provide a first-time theater experience for a child, your contribution makes an immediate and lasting impact.
Support the Future of the Arts:
At WSPA, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the magic of theater—whether they are on stage, behind the scenes, or in the audience. Theater has the power to inspire, to teach empathy, and to unlock the creativity and imagination within each child. For almost 20 years, we have been providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for young performers to discover their voice, build confidence, and express themselves through the art of theater.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generous support of individuals, families, and businesses who share our passion for children’s theater. Your donation helps us continue to provide high-quality performances, hands-on learning experiences, and scholarships for children who might otherwise not have the opportunity to participate.
