Dance Theater of Harlem Closes; Donations are needed!
 

Subject: Dance Theater of Harlem Closes It's Doors


It has be announced that the famous Dance Theater of Harlem has closed
itsdoors this weekend. The cofounder, Arthur Mitchell, is $2 million in
debt and Government funding that he usually gets have been halted!

Let's help the children. How many black people are here in America
alone?
Over 38 million. Can we each just send a dollar?

Take the coins out of your change purse and send it to the Theater.
1 dollar x 38 million = $38,000,000.

This is a great loss to our community, the world and most of all our
children. The Theater was opened in 1969 and has been an institution
using the art of dance to bring hope to the lives and minds of youths
who otherwise would be getting into trouble.

What happens now? Where will the next Gregory Hines or Debbie Allen come
from?

Don't bother with any websites claiming to raise funds for the Theater.
After administrative fees are taken out there won't be anything left to
donate.

Send your tax deductible dollar or any donation directly to:
The Dance Theater of Harlem
466 W. 152 St.
New York, NY 10031

The Company went on hiatus in September and the School suspended operations on October 16. Here is its website for making donations directly:

Oh my gosh!:(

I attended DTH back in the day for a few years, I will surely be making a donation.

Thank you for the information.

Update for those that are interested.

YAY!!!!!!

Mayor Mikey (Michael Bloomberg) gave a generous donation as well.

Just to let everyone know they are by no means out of the woods. The money that was received is enough to get the school open again but they are still in a sizable amount of debt and will need continued monatary support to get the company and staff members back on board and working.

Mr Mitchell was moved by the $1 campaign someone started on the internet and commented on the large amount of envelopes they've received with just $1 in it. So if thats all you got send it on:

466 West 152nd Street
New York, NY 10031
