| Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio Partners with Target for Sponsorship of Artistic Science Residency |
|
Cleveland, OH (October 5, 2006) — Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio today announced a partnership with Target for sponsorship of an artistic science residency at Noble Elementary School in Cleveland Heights. Young Audience’s theater artist Jonathan Graham will work with 5th grade students for one week during the fall of the 2006-2007 academic year, and University Heights Target store team members will participate in the culminating family event.
“This generous grant from the Target Corporation Foundation will provide students the opportunity to study energy and electricity through the art form of theater,” noted Marsha Dobrzynski, Young Audiences executive director. “We are delighted to work with Target to help inspire student learning at Noble Elementary.”
This sponsorship is part of the ongoing support Target provides to local communities throughout the country. Every week Target gives more than $2 million to strengthen families and communities across the nation, with a focus on education, the arts, social services and other vital community partnerships.
“At Target, we are making a real difference every day through our sponsorship program,” said Laysha Ward, Target’s vice president for community relations. “We’re proud to partner with Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.”
