GRANTORS AND CONTRIBUTORS

CAAM CDT gratefully acknowledges the generous support from state, community, business, and individual grantors and contributors. These contributions support kids’ summer camp scholarships and classes and attendance at our Annual Chinese New Year Production. There is nothing more heartwarming than hearing thousands of children cheering and enjoying a New Year’s performance!  In addition, donors’ generous support allows us to keep tuition for all our students as low as possible and our New Year’s productions’ ticket prices stable (they have not been raised since 1992). Your generous contributions also allow us to offer numerous free or low-cost performances throughout the year, designed to reach all Minnesotans.
