Coming Soon!

May 03, 2019

Hello again, everyone!

After a long year of production, "Charge" is set to premiere later this month! We are so grateful to all of you for your support; without your generosity, this film never could have been made. Now, all our combined efforts are about to come together!

We hope you will join us on May 24 and 31 for the official debut of the film. Remember, all proceeds will benefit Storycatchers Theatre in Chicago.

Please help spread the word and come to a screening if you can - the more people come, the more we can give to Storycatchers.

Check out the Facebook event linked below for more details, and look for a trailer coming very soon. We'll see you at the premiere!

Thank You!

And that’s a wrap! We are so thankful for all of the donors like you who contributed to our campaign! With your help, we now have the opportunity to produce a great film, engage creative students at our school, and make a difference in our community. As a reminder, all of the ticket sales from our premiere in the Spring will be donated to Storycatchers Theatre. Be sure to like Applause for a Cause on Facebook or follow @applausenu on Twitter for updates and behind-the-scenes content on our film as we head toward production!

 

From everyone at Applause, thank you for your support. We hope to see you at the red carpet premiere!

Progress Milestone: 100%

November 12, 2018

Wow! We are beyond words! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Applause for a Cause! We wanted you to be the first to know that we have reached our fundraising goal of $5,000.

 

We could not have done this without you! Thanks to generous donors like you, our production will have the funds it needs to go forward. We are so appreciative of everyone who has helped us reach this goal.

 

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Starting NOW through midnight tonight, all donations will be MATCHED dollar for dollar up to $25. There's still time to give, and you can DOUBLE your impact!

 

Keep sharing our social media posts and telling your friends and family about all the great work that Applause for a Cause does for the community. Let’s keep this momentum going and finish strong!

Progress Milestone: 75%

November 06, 2018

We’re almost there! Because of your generous gifts, we are now 75% of the way to fully funding our film! We’ll now be able to cover transportation and fund part of our set in addition to paying actors and renting props and locations.

 

We’d like to extend an enormous thank you to everyone who has given already. We’ve nearly reached our goal, so please continue to share our project with your friends and social networks. If you haven’t given yet, we hope you’ll consider supporting Applause. We've only got a week left, and a little help from you is all we need to put us over the top!

Progress Milestone: 50%

October 25, 2018

Woooooooah, we’re halfway there! A huge thank you to all of our donors; thanks to your generosity, we’re 50% of the way to fully funding Charge! In addition to locations and props, we’ll now be able to pay our wonderful actors for their work in bringing this story to life. There’s still time left to give, so please consider supporting our project; gifts of any amount make a difference in the success of our film! We would also love if you continued to share our project with anyone who might be interested!

Lights, Camera, Action!

October 16, 2018

 

Today is the start of our active fundraising campaign! We’re super excited about this project and are grateful for everyone who has already contributed. With your help, we’ve already raised 25% of our $5,000 goal which means we’ll be able to put those funds toward renting locations, securing props, and getting costumes.

 

But we’re not done yet! By continuing to spread the word on social media about our project, you can help us make the only student-produced, -directed, and -written feature-length film at Northwestern. Remember, all ticket sales from our premiere go directly to charity. Thanks for your help!
