A Cappella Academy 2016!

Donation protected
Welcome to my page!

My name is Tehillah Alphonso, and I am currently a high school senior from Omaha, Nebraska. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to attend A Cappella Academy, an intensive musical summer camp in Los Angeles, California, for the last two years, and on February 1, 2016, I found out that I had been chosen to go for a third and final summer!

I am one of 73 participants in this year's session, chosen out of a pool of 556 total applicants -- the top 13 percent. Being able to attend A Cappella Academy for the last two summers has truly been a dream come true. The camp has opened me up to a myriad of opportunities, introduced me to genres of music I had never listened to before, shaped me into a more well-rounded performer overall, and given me the friends of a lifetime. I can't count the number of times I've told my friends and family how life-changing of an experience it truly was.

Here in Omaha, music is an extremely underappreciated profession. Prior to attending the inaugural session of A Cappella Academy in 2014, music seemed like nothing more than a hobby. All the odds seemed to be working against me when talking about pursuing music as a professional career. But after being accepted and going to A Cappella Academy, the vision for my life completely changed. Now in the second semester of my senior year, I know now that music is the path on which I was destined to go, and that is what I will be pursuing in college next fall.

That being said, I am ecstatic to attend A Cappella Academy this upcoming summer for an all-new musical experience. Although camp is an incredible opportunity, it is also, unfortunately, an expensive one. The tuition of camp this summer accumulates to $1,995, which doesn't include airfare to or from Los Angeles or other additional costs. With private school attendance and upcoming college expenses, I do not want to place a financial burden on my family.

This is where you come in. Even though the tuition is high, I do not want to let expenses be the obstacle that prevents me from attending camp this summer. Whether you decide to donate one dollar or the entire tuition or even share this page, any help from you would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read, share, and hopefully donate to my page. I am so excited for one more unforgettable summer!
