5K for the Arts - SUPPORT!
Your Support Helps Keep the Arts in Motion.
Behind every performance, exhibition, rehearsal, and creative opportunity is a student with something to say, and a Fine Arts program that helps them find their voice.
The BMHS 5K for the Arts is the Fine Arts Department's only annual fundraiser, with all proceeds directly supporting Fine Arts programming. Your gift helps provide meaningful opportunities for more than 700 students who participate in BMHS Fine Arts programs each year, from music and dance to theatre, film, photography, broadcast journalism, and visual arts.
Whether you become a sponsor, supporting donor, or in-kind contributor, your generosity makes a tangible difference, and helps ensure that the arts continue to thrive at Bishop McNamara.
Invest in creativity. Champion our students. Support the arts.
Give today and help make every note, movement, image, and performance possible.
