2025 PARKER PROJECT BENEFIT
Performance and Fundraiser to support access to the Arts
Saturday, May 17<sup>th</sup> at 7:00pm at Mertens Theater
For the past 17 years The Parker Project, a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization founded by Nikole LaChioma, has been supporting Fairfield County students going on to pursue the arts. Each year we award the Steven A. Merrihew Performing Arts Scholarship to those graduating Fairfield County Seniors going on to pursue dance, choreography or musical theater as a Major or Minor in college. To date we have awarded over $90,000.
This year we are giving out one $5,000 and two $1,000 Scholarships to deserving graduating Seniors of any public or private Fairfield County High School. The Benefit is an amazing concert and all the funds go to scholarships.
Tickets are $25 and are 100% tax deductible. To reserve your seats or make a donation Venmo @theparkerproject. Please indicate your name, number of tickets or if it is donation. Tickets will be held at the Will Call the night of the performance. Thank you!
In addition, The Parker Project supports and scholarships local dancers for class tuition, summer programs, costumes, competition fees and more. In just the past two years students from the Fairfield County area have received over $28,000 in scholarships. It is the goal of The Parker Project to support access to the arts on both a talent and need basis for our community's youth.
The Parker Project was founded in 2007 by Nikole LaChioma and is a 501© 3 non-profit organization. All donations to the organization are tax deductible under the fullest extent of the law.
