WHO WE ARE
The Friends of Baldwin Academy of Dance and Voice Club is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, in operation since 2014 with a mission to enrich BADV students’ opportunities in the arts. 
WHAT WE DO 
The Friends of BADV works with BADV to offer the Maple Sugar Gala in conjunction with the annual winter presentation of “A Maple Leaf Nutcracker.” We support the BADV students’ travels with fundraising opportunities and a significant contribution. We offer financial support for BADV students in need. Last year, we offered 6 Friends of BADV scholarships. The Maple Sugar Essay Contest awarded BADV tuition scholarships to 4 young people who submitted compelling essays about their love of the arts. The Beyond the Academy summer ambassador scholarship was awarded to a student pursuing summer opportunities “beyond the academy,” as a support and encouragement for students to have new experiences. The Dewey Ehling Memorial Scholarship was awarded in the spring to a graduating high school senior with plans to pursue higher education in the performing arts. And our newest scholarship opportunity is the BL Eisenhour that awards a full year of tuition to one Ambassador for that current year.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
We are so proud to support our students and our community. It would not be possible without you! When you buy cookie dough or butter braids from a BADV student, you are helping support the mission of the Friends of BADV. When you bid on an item at the Maple Leaf Nutcracker silent auction or purchase flowers at recital, you are furthering our mission. And if you join the nearly 40 businesses and families who have committed to becoming a Friends of BADV Affiliate, you can support the students of BADV. We hope you will join us!
