Due to Covid, we are unable to hold our Holiday Show Basket Raffle, or any other fundraising activities, in the lobby. So we moved it online to a Silent Auction. You can go to https://www.32auctions.com/AOKHoliday2020 before the auction opens to take a peek at the amazing baskets our volunteers have assembled.

Accompany of Kids is proud to announce that we are one of the recipients, awarded just over $13,000. “Just like small businesses, cultural organizations have taken a major financial hit,” said DOA Secretary Joel Brennan. “We’re all in this together. We hope that these funds will make it possible for us to be able to enjoy the museums, theaters, and music from these organizations once it is safe to do so again.” Administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA), the COVID-19 Cultural Organizations Grant program provides grants to nonprofit organizations whose primary missions are to produce, present, or exhibit cultural disciplines such as music, dance, theater, literature, and the visual arts, or items of environmental or scientific interest. Grant awards can be used to cover pandemic-related impacts such as lost revenue, increased workers' compensation costs, cleaning and sanitization, and purchases of services or equipment to facilitate telework by employees. We are so very grateful for this grant. So many performing groups have had to close their doors. This will help with some of the many additional expenses and financial losses Accompany of Kids, like so many, is experiencing this year. More information regarding the COVID-19 Cultural Organization Grant Program is available HERE. A full list of grant winners is available HERE.  MID-WINTER 2020 AUDITIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS
