Brief Summary of the Organization's History
Thirteen years ago Hutch Monteson began hosting an annual fundraising concert featuring the Tamburitzans of Duquesne University at Boulder's historic Chautauqua Auditorium. These 35 university student dancers passionately bring the culture of Eastern Europe to the stage. This concert has generated quite a following. People come from all over Colorado to attend. It is a multi-generational event and a great fundraiser.
In 2003, we officially became Arts for All Children and were able to receive donations through our fiscal agency, Boulder County Arts Alliance. Although AFAC's initial goal was to sponsor just one child with top quality music lessons for one year, we actually raised $7000 and were able to provide a variety of individual scholarships.
In our second year we were able to put on two concerts and sent out our first fundraising letter. We were able to raise $14,500. The spring concert, "Acoustic Eidolon" drew enthusiastic listeners and served as a successful fundraiser. In May, we hosted the Tamburitzan concert at Chautauqua Auditorium. After the initial costs of the concerts and advertising we were able to generously donate to the scholarship funds of Boulder Arts Academy and Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts as well as maintaining our own individual scholarships.
We appreciate donations of any size. Scholarships are granted based on the donations received.
