25th Annual"Signifyin' & Testifyin'

This is the 25th year in which the non-profit Black Storytellers Alliance has presented the three-day  Black Master Storytellers Festival, "Signifyin' & Testifyin'" for everyone in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The Festival is family-friendly, open to the public and free to all!

Over the past 24 years, we have had more than 46,000 audience participants ranging in age from 4 years old to 106!

Black Storytellers Alliance is a nonprofit 501c3 organization.  We need your help to execute this years festival.   Please consider a donation of $5.00 - $5 million.  All donations are fully tax deductible. Not one dime goes for anything other than paying for this Festival that brings an interactive storytelling experience to all who attend. It is an uplifting, inspiring engaging adventure that we call edu-tainment because it uses the humor in story to transmit lasting values.

The families, the children and the teachers who've attended over the years have consistently praised the artistry and shared humanity that they've witnessed.

We are proud and honored that the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council continues to support this festival with a full $10,000 grant  again this year which is 38% of the required budget. Black Storytellers Alliance (BSA) is contributing 40% of the budget. We need to raise the remaining $8,500 by September 15, 2016.

Every year we step out with this Festival on the faith that we will raise the necessary funds to make this Festival a gift to our communities. We know how much we need to see Hope in action.

But most of all we know that "Courage Is Contagious!" That's why it is our Theme for the 25th year. That's why we have continued to have 25 years of Joyful Spirits!"

Thank in advance for giving  and don't be shy about asking  your friends and family to give as ell.  Above all, please join us September 22 - 24, 2016 in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area!

On behalf of all of us we thank you from the depths of our hearts for your generosity!

Peace and blessings.
