Cavod Performing Arts will hold its annual Day of ThanksGIVING fundraising event on Friday, Nov. 17. Community members are invited to donate at http://www.cavod.org.

Donations given during the Day of ThanksGIVING will help Cavod as it endeavors to provide programs that reinforce the value of each student; foster a community where students feel safe, loved, and accepted; provide a creative outlet for children and adults with developmental disabilities; stretch its reach internationally with the goal of seeing nations won for Christ; empower its teachers with continued educational opportunities so students always feel challenged in the classroom; invest in each student's God-given identity; and provide scholarship opportunities for families in need.

Cavod's goal is to raise $80,000. Donations up to $40,000 will be matched.

Cavod Performing Arts is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to offer a godly environment that inspires excellence in the arts to build community and impact lives. Cavod offers classes in dance, acting, music, gymnastics and more for people from preschool age through adults.
