Support the
Dana Lewis Scholarship Fund
HITS Theatre strives to provide our programming to anyone who wants to become a ‘HITS Kid.’ During our 2024-2025 season, HITS pledges to award $45,000 in scholarships to serve 100 students. By making scholarships easily accessible, HITS has witnessed incredible shifts in diversity of our student performers.
As we formalize our scholarship program, there are opportunities to sponsor a student and honor our beloved dance instructor, Dana Lewis. At HITS, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to express themselves through the arts, regardless of their financial circumstances. The Dana Lewis Scholarship Fund plays a crucial role in ensuring that children from diverse communities can participate in our theater programs, which foster not only artistic skills but also confidence, teamwork, and resilience.
We welcome donations for the 2025-2026 academic year. Your contribution continues to allow students, regardless of financial situation, a chance to become a HITS KID!
