WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY image

Our deadline has been extended! But we still need to raise $50K. Please help us so that we can continue to do the important work that we do. If the Carr Center weren't around, Detroit would lose a lot:

  • a place for artists to create and show their work;
  • a place for artists and community to gather;
  • a place for young professional musicians to hone their crafts;
  • a place for young creatives to explore and expand their talents.

The Carr Center does important work for this community and beyond. Here's what some of our summer dance parents/students had to say.

From a grandmother:

"I think it was very professional and extremely well done for only two weeks. Those teachers were top-notch. I was totally impressed with the program. I truly hope (deleted child's name) will have the opportunity to be a part of any future endeavors. Thank God for all of you who made this a reality for all of those kids".

From a visiting aunt and uncle:
"We loved all of it. These kids are truly talented".

From parents:

"I am so glad that (DELETED NAME) saw something in him that needed to be nurtured and thought enough of him to suggest he audition this year. Even after only two weeks, I saw improvement in his dancing (Ballet) watching the recital. I'm happy our son was up to the challenge. He was so nervous (and sore) those first few days, but he hung in there. He had never danced those many hours/days in a row before. We were proud of him. Thank you again to all of you involved, especially his dance instructors".,

From a student

"I had a good experience and I made lots of new friends. It was very hard, but I still liked it. My favorite dance was Gaite Parisienne by Offenbach, but my favorite class was hip hop because we always had a fun time with Mr. Devon and I learned something new. I liked Drumming part 1 and the finale too"

From a parent

I just wanted to extend my sincere appreciation to you and the entire team for the incredible work with this summer's intensive. I saw such wonderful growth in (DELETED CHILD'S NAME) this year, and she shared how much she truly enjoyed the experience. The show was amazing—so beautifully done. Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you in the fall!

That's just one of our programs.

Help us to raise $50K in the next 6 days.

  • $1K from 50 members of the Carr Center family would do it.
  • $500 dollars from 100 members of the Carr Center family would do it.
  • But it you can't give at those levels PLEASE give what you can.

The Carr Centet is too important to lose In a city that is over 80% African American, our presence is not optional - it's essential.
