with Fundraising Efforts and Hands-On Service Projects
Henderson, Nev. – Leadership Henderson, a non-profit organization led by the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Foundation, announces the Class of 2023 has selected Positively Arts to support with fundraising and community service efforts.
Founded in 2014, Positively Arts is a Southern Nevada-based nonprofit that aims to ensure all students across the valley have access to high quality, high impact programs that build confidence and self-esteem through artistic expression, peer support and empowerment.
Leadership Henderson’s Class of 2023 is comprised of 33 designated business professionals from across the Las Vegas Valley representing various industries including financial services, education, construction, communications, real estate, insurance, automotive, nonprofit, health care and more. Participants were tasked with reviewing four proposals from various Southern Nevada-based nonprofits to support for the program’s Class of 2023 philanthropic project.
“This year's Leadership class is focused on legacy and building a better tomorrow, so the incredible work of Positively Arts perfectly aligned with their vision,” said Kelly Green, Executive Director of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
During Leadership Henderson’s current eight-month program, the Class of 2023 will help Positively Arts to continue building out and professionalizing its newly constructed black box theater, recording studios, and classrooms through financial aid, in-kind contributions, and hands-on support.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with the 30+ business leaders that make up the Class of 2023,” said Pilita Simpson, founder and CEO of Positively Arts. “This group of local professionals couldn't have come to us at a better time during our organization's journey, and we look forward to their guidance, support and expertise as we continue to grow and serve the kids in our community.”
