Co-Executive Director, J. Scott Handley said, "As a non-profit organization, we are tasked with not only providing quality services to our community, but also being conscious of ways in which we can help the community around us. Our goal is to educate students of all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status, that they too can attain their dreams and reach for the stars."
The gala will begin with a cocktail hour and silent auction at 6:30 followed by a performance from BMA students and a set from Alice Ripley. Tickets are available via the BMA website, broadwaymethodacademy.org.
