Sefanit Israel Tekle Friends of Duke Ellington

Sefanit Israel Tekle fundraising for ELLINGTON FUND

  • 25
    Donors

The Duke Ellington School of the Arts is an amazing place that is home to young artists in the District. Support education and the arts!

  • Show Choir performing in France.
  • Dancers on stage at the Annual Spring Gala.
  • Alumni at the front steps of the school at a recent cookout/reunion.
  • The front of the building that houses over 500 talented young artists.
  • Herbie Hancock with Ellington students, after a special assembly.
  • What's more inspiring than artists inspiring young artists to succeed academically and in the arts?

You can give as little as $10 or as much as you can afford. This is a cause that you will not be disappointed in supporting. Education is important in our communities and you'd be supporting our young talented students to achieve their dreams and achieve academically and artistically. Our students get accepted into the best colleges and conservatories in the nation, but we need more resources to provide them with the best education in their high school years. Without your support, we would not be able to achieve that.

Make a difference and give a little. Your donation would go a long way here at Ellington!

    As far as educating kids for a life and career, Duke Ellington is already at a place where most schools still dream to go. It needs everyone's support to be in the vanguard of effective education.
