Arts For All is partnering with Mika Higgins-Woo to organize a student-run Walk-A-Thon! Arts For All offers accessible artistic opportunities to children in the New York City area who face socio-economic, physical or emotional barriers to exploring the arts. In 2025, Arts For All is planning to serve 5,200 students. All proceeds go towards funding arts workshops for underserved schools and youth organizations across NYC.
By Sponsoring a Walker, you can help provide arts programming to students across the city in 2025!
Here’s how your donation will help:
- $25 buys supplies for 10 students
- $50 buys supplies for 20 students
- $100 provides a 1-hour artistic workshop
- $500 funds a 4-week residency (including supplies!)
- $1000 funds a 6-to-8-week artistic residency (including supplies!)
- $2500 provides a 16-week artistic residency (including supplies!)
- $5000 funds a full school year (28-week) residency (including supplies!)
Walk-A-Thon Update:
More about Mika and the Walk-A-Thon Walkers!
Hi! I’m Mika Higgins-Woo, a high school sophomore. I’m organizing a Walk-A-Thon to raise money for Arts For All.
I’m so grateful to have learned and grown so much through my own experiences rehearsing for musicals and plays as well as taking vocal and acting lessons over the past eight years. I believe that all kids deserve these experiences! Arts For All is creating opportunities for all kids to learn and grow through theater and other arts and I am eager to support them.
For this Walk-A-Thon project, I plan to walk with a group of friends who share this mission from one theater landmark in the city (the spectacular United Palace theater in Washington Heights) to another (the Broadway Theatre near Times Square). Will you join me in supporting Arts For All by sponsoring our Walk-A-Thon?”
Additional Walker bios coming soon!
Want to Sponsor a Walker? Make a donation, look out for the receipt in your emails for the button to leave a message of support, then write a comment with your Walker’s name. We are looking to raise at least $200 per Walker; help us reach this goal by the date of the Walk-A-Thon on October 6th!
UPDATE: With an initial goal of $3,000, we are honored that the students have now surpassed that amount and are continuing to reach out to sponsors! The Walk-A-Thon GoFundMe page will remain open until October 31, 2024. Donate here.
