We are on a mission to make our new space our forever home! This page shows the accumulated total of funds raised so far! Donations and surplus funds raised will be reflected here monthly.

The first milestone goal is to raise a down payment total of $350,000 towards the purchase of our building purchase price ($1,700,000.00). So far, with the 50,000 Piron Family pledge plus the $1000 O’Donnell family match challenge we are halfway towards meeting our $350,000 goal! Every dollar donated is tax-deductible and will be impactful in helping us meet our goal by Spring of 2028.

Your contribution secures a future for Marquee youth to thrive and support youth for generations to come.

Raise up to $1.7 MIL to purchase the building outright (mortgage free). Funds raised towards the purchase allows us to serve our community by striving to offer the best to our students while keeping tuition, events, and bookings affordable for generations to come!

The resounding echoes of thousands of youth that have filled our walls and hearts with light since 2011 have propelled us to this moment. We have acquired our new home as a lease with a purchase option and with the support of our community!

Our story...

The Marquee family moved out of the old space in April of 2024 and welcomed students to the new space at 220 N. Randall Rd. We have poured our hearts and resources to transform this space from a Baseball training center to a performing arts center for camps, workshops and shows, and is our vision to make this new home a permanent fixture in our community. In order to do this, our next step is to raise funds to purchase our building before our lease is up for renewal in spring of 2028!

✔️Act 1: Be THEIR Light… WE DID IT!! With the help and support of our community, we raised nearly $300,000!

✨Act 2: Be THE Change…✨

A tremendous thank you to the Piron and Cris & Tom Anderson Family and patrons for helping us raise over $75,000 for our HVAC renovations!!!

This phase of the build-out effort includes

Installing AC units ranging from temporary cooling to more permanent solutions, based on the total funding available through our fundraising efforts.
