Thank You

November 06, 2022

And that’s a wrap! Our fundraising campaign for this year’s Applause for a Cause film, Mixed Signals, is complete!

Thanks to your generous contributions, we’ve managed to raise an unbelievable $6,595! Through your support, we have the opportunity to produce a great film, engage creative students at our school, and make a difference in our community. All proceeds from ticket sales at our spring premiere will go toward 826 Chicago!

Make sure to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates throughout the production process and behind-the-scenes content! 

From all of us at Applause, we deeply thank you for all the support you’ve given us. We’ll see you at the premiere!

Update: 100% and Beyond!

October 25, 2022

Wow! We are so thankful! With your help, we’ve managed to reach our $4,000 goal for Mixed Signals! That means our film now has the funds needed to go into production! 

We sincerely thank each and every one of our donors who have contributed toward this year’s Applause for a Cause film. Without your generous support, this amazing, unique project wouldn’t be possible.

But that doesn’t mean we’re done yet! Our campaign still runs through November 3, and you can still give until then! Although we’ve reached our set goal, any additional funds raised will go toward both making this film an even greater success and purchasing new equipment that can benefit Applause films in years to come. 

Keep spreading the word about Applause and all the work we do for the community. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Update: 75%

October 24, 2022

WOW! We’re getting close– we’re 75% of the way to fully funding our project! Thanks to your generous gifts, we can rent the equipment we need to bring Mixed Signals to life!

We’ve nearly reached our goal, so please continue to share our project. If you haven’t made a gift yet, we hope you’ll consider supporting Applause for a Cause! A little help from you, whether by contributing financially or helping share this with others, is all we need to get to the finish line!

Launch Day!

October 11, 2022

Today is the launch of our fundraising campaign! We’re very excited about this year’s Applause for a Cause film, Mixed Signals, and we can’t wait to get started making it! But in order to do that, we need your help! Your gift toward this project will go toward the many costs of producing a feature-length film, which in turn supports this year’s philanthropy, 826 Chicago!
