Supporting BAAM’s Youth Art Program
This fundraiser directly supports BAAM’s Youth Art Program, which brings free arts opportunities to SAD44 schools and young artists in the Bethel area. From hands-on workshops to artist residencies and live performances, the program inspires the next generation of creators and ensures that youth in our community have access to quality arts education.
With your help, BAAM is working toward an end-of-year fundraising goal of $15,000 to sustain and grow this vital program. Every bowl purchased, every donation, and every ticket helps us get one step closer.
