Time is running out to DOUBLE your gift and help us meet our match!

We're so grateful to those of you who have already donated to support the journey of arts education. Thanks to you, we're close to our goal of raising $7,500 before June 30. But we're not there yet!

An extraordinary pledge from The Cinquino Family means that every dollar raised up to $7,500 will be matched. This DOUBLES the size of your gift, brings the total gift to Touchstone to $15,000, and doubles the impact for the hundreds of students served through Touchstone’s arts education programs.

Gifts of any size help us reach our goal.

THANK YOU to those who have already donated!

We are still reeling from the beauty and power that was this year's FRESH VOICES!

Thank you to all those who were able to attend, and an extra special thank you to all who donated to our PERIOD. Drive.

Everyone at Touchstone is so incredibly proud of the work that Jolie and Anisa did and the uniqueness and talent that they bring to the Lehigh Valley.

We can’t wait to see what they do next ;)
