Youth Rising Above Adversity
At the Fox Tucson Theatre, we know that exposure to the arts helps children develop crucial traits, ranging from persistence and motivation to creative thinking and problem solving. Yet so many of our local youth lack access to large-scale performing arts due to challenges such as poverty, health issues, social-emotional difficulties, language barriers, and familial distress.
There is a need here, and we are working to meet it. To do so, we partner with non-profits serving youth and families facing significant adversity to distribute free tickets to the family shows taking place at The Fox.
The Impact
▾
- Almost 3,300 free tickets distributed since September 2018.
- Non-profit partners report significant impacts on their members:
“The families all expressed what a gift it was to give their kids some joy as they go through some of the most difficult times you can imagine. Most also expressed that they never would have had the opportunity to treat their families to a show at the Fox due to not having the funds to do such things.”
“…all of our families were delighted with the show… for many families in our community, this experience was a 1st. Many have not ever had the opportunity to attend this type of event, due to financial struggles or even language barriers.”
