We are also excited to share with you, like last year, an opportunity to “give” some more love to FOVA and the Conservatory of Arts Program by participating in our 2023 FOVA “Gift Card Giving Tree” raffle.

What is a “Gift Card Giving Tree”?

We are raffling off two (2) decorative LED tabletop “Gift Card Giving Trees”, each adorned with over $240 worth of gift cards in various denominations to some of your favorite stores and restaurants. For each separate raffle, you win both the tree and the gift cards that are attached!

Raffle tickets are 1 ticket for $5, or 5 tickets for $20.

How do I purchase them?

What is the window of time to purchase my online raffle tickets?

You have from today, February 21th through March 3rd at 5pm to purchase raffle tickets online via PayPal or Venmo.

Our FOVA Snacks table is a stable and reliable means of food and beverage options for our kids at the Conservatory of Arts. While providing the students with something to munch on during break, the proceeds from the sale goes directly into student scholarships and art supplies for the classroom. On a weekly basis we go through a lot of food and there are regular favorites that are needed. We ask that as parents, if you can possibly donate these regularly needed items:

Cup-O-Noodles – chicken, beef and shrimp

Chips – all variety, flavors, spicy, 1 to 2 oz bags

Any single serving packaged sweets (Fruit roll ups, cookies, rice crispies, etc..  )

Drinks – 16 or 8 oz bottles of water, all flavor juice pouches and boxes

Plastic forks, napkins, 12 oz Styrofoam cups

Thank you for making The Conservatory of Arts a truly special place for our students. We hope to provide them with a wonderful experience week after week by providing refreshments that they can look forward to during their breaks. We truly appreciate all your help, generosity, and dedication to this amazing program.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
