Cultivate Confidence, Creativity & Self-Expression
BHEF Performing Arts Circle supporters believe in the power of performing arts to encourage children to explore their emotions, expand their imagination and develop their own unique voice. Each discipline of music, dance and drama engage a child's brain, body and emotions in different ways to encourage their confidence, creativity and find joy in self-expression.
BHEF advocates for high-quality arts education for all BHUSD students (TK-12) by providing funds and raising awareness for VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts) Pathways. Since 1978 performing arts students and teachers have relied on BHEF funding in addition to PTAs and school site budgets to bring excellence to our stages.
The BHEF Performing Arts Circle is dedicated to collecting funds from donors to support theater arts, instrumental music and vocal music departments at all 4 school sites (Hawthorne, Horace Mann, Beverly Vista Middle School and Beverly Hills High School). Together we create excellence in the classrooms, on the stages while promoting and strengthening VAPA pathways. 100% of your targeted donation will go to the performing arts departments at our two elementary schools, middle school and high school. In the form below, please specify "for TK-5 programs", "for middle school program" or "for high school program".
Donors will be acknowledged in production’s playbills throughout the year.
