Update #5: We reached our goal - dare we be ambitious?

Posted on April 8, 2010

Thanks to ALL our backers - we reached our goal today so THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!
(yeah all caps is lame but we are SO EXCITED!)

We now have the funds to pay all of our playwrights, actors and directors a small honorarium...just a token of our great esteem and way less than they deserve.

If we could get to $500 - just another $150 more - we could pay our 16 artists a bit more for all the time and LOVE they have put into Springboard V.

If we could get to $750 - yeah I know, it's a LOT more - - we could pay our artists more AND take care of the final payment for the space rental. Meridian has very generously waived their usual fees and given us a very substantial discount which was a huge factor in making Springboard V possible. Getting to $750 would up the artist fees and pay our final payment to Meridian which would for the first time ever, Jump! would be IN THE BLACK after a major event.

So if you can make a donation please know your gift will be used well!

Update #4: Really fabulous artwork!
