By providing opportunities for Latino/Chicano youth to experience live theater, participate in interactive programs, and learn about critical social justice issues, Teatro Visión presents a vital avenue to community engagement and empowerment.

As we approach the holiday season, we look forward to continuing our teatro classes in the new year. But we need your help to take our youth programming to the next level and give our young teatristas more opportunities to shine on stage!

Tomorrow, we'll be taking part in Giving Tuesday — which is like the polar opposite of Black Friday. For 24 hours, people across the country will celebrate the spirit of the holidays by giving back to their favorite nonprofit organizations.

We hope you'll join them by making a donation to Teatro through our crowdfunding page on HIPGive starting at midnight tonight.

As an added bonus, HIPGive will be matching the first $20,000 in donations received by Teatro and other partnering organizations. Please take advantage of this exciting opportunity to double your impact on youth in our community!

Thank you in advance for your continued support. Once you make a donation, don't forget to share the news on Twitter using the hashtag #TuesdayForTeatro.

UPDATE

Thanks to some late-night generosity, we blew past our #GivingTuesday goal and raised more than $2,300 for our youth programs! We're humbled by this inspiring show of support, especially on such short notice. ¡Saludos a todos por su apoyo!
