An exciting announcement!
Friends, family, and supporters
Our first week is done and we’ve already raised $2,001--40% of our goal! Thank you so much for your support! Last Sunday, on March 4th, we launched our campaign and had our first “Super Sunday” with our 200-person cast. Super Sundays are a weekly rehearsal of our show. It’s the time when our cast meets together to blend everything we’ve been working on in our separate aspects.
Sunday was our first glimpse of how our show will be like. Our actors read the first act, our choir sang our national anthems, and our dancers performed their first eight-counts. There’s a long journey ahead, but it’s only up from here!
Let’s keep the momentum up! We have three weeks left to reach our $5,000 goal. Please share our page and encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to contribute to the campaign and/or attend our show this May 4th and 5th at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
With Love,
The Sampaguita Cast, Akbayan SJSU
