20 Years of Art, Passion, and Purpose — Be Part of What’s Next
Dear Alumni:
Twenty years ago, CHAMPS opened its doors with a vision: to educate, guide and inspire creative and critical thinking through artistic experience. Thanks to alumni like you, CHAMPS continues to be a vibrant hub where creativity flourishes, talents are cultivated, and lasting connections are built.
Whether you walked our halls five or fifteen years ago, your journey is part of the school’s legacy—and today, we’re inviting you to help write the next chapter.
In honor of our 20th anniversary, we’ve launched the 20 for 20 Campaign:
🎨 $20 from 200 alumni in 2025!
Your gift fuels the next generation of artists, performers, and visionaries. Your dollars will go directly to close the gap between the funds CA State provides for basic public education and the integrated arts education that you once experienced at CHAMPS. This year, your dollars will go directly to:
Build out Studio Spaces, expand the Mezzanine, and upgrade Science Labs & Robotics Areas
Lease Arts Production & Theater spaces (at least 4x a year)
Fund Trips for Competitions, e.g. Robotics VEX State Championship Trip, Music & Dance Invitationals
Expand Summer Enrichment Opportunities
Any amount is welcome. And remember, your donation is 100% tax-deductible.
Donate Your Time & Your Talent!
If you're in the LA area on Sept. 12th, we want to INVITE you to:
20 Years of Talent Showcase to celebrate current students and alumni with performances, robotics demos, film and art.
We want to showcase YOU so if you'd like to be a part of the evening but can't make it to town, send us photos, videos or a recorded message!
Thank you for being a part of our story—and for helping us keep continue to provide a space where creativity and excellence thrive.
