Dear Donor,
I hope this letter finds you in great health and high spirits. I am reaching out on behalf of the Destined 2 WOW Foundation to share a special opportunity to impact the lives of youth in our community in a powerful and lasting way.
This summer, we are proud to present the Destined 2 WOW Summer Youth Summit 2026. A transformative, 5-week performing arts experience for middle and high school students (ages 11-15) from across Columbia, SC. This summer program is not just about acting, dancing, spoken word and STEM-based elements in performing arts - it’s about using the power of live arts as a vehicle to address real issues like bullying, emotional trauma, mental wellness, and self-expression.
Beginning June 15, 2026, students will train with professional artists and instructors as well as collaborate to write, produce, and perform an original theatrical production, and film a powerful and entertaining music video - all culminating in a community showcase on Friday, July 24, 2026 at Lenoir-Rhyne University Reinartz Hall.
But we cannot do this without the help of donors like you.
To ensure that this life-changing experience remains affordable for every student, we are seeking donations, sponsors, and supporters who believe in the power of the creative and entertainment arts to change lives. Whether you choose to:
● Sponsor a student ($500 covers one students full experience)
● Sponsor a meal, field trip, or t-shirt package
● Donate toward production costs or our finale showcase
● Or simply make a one-time gift of any amount...
...you’ll be helping us provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where young voices can be heard and their gifts fully expressed.
We would love to list your name or business in our program book, on our website, and on stage as one of our cherished supporters. In-kind donations of supplies, food, or services are also greatly appreciated.
Together, we can help our youth shine.
Please visit complete this form or email me directly at info@destined2wow.org if you’d like to discuss ways you can get involved.
Thank you for considering this heartfelt request. Your support makes dreams come true. With gratitude and purpose,
Tanisha "Queen" Hall
Program Director - Destined 2 WOW
