Dedicated in May 2007, the AUHSD Performing Arts Center at Kennedy High School was funded and built by the Anaheim Union High School District.  Primarily intended for use by all the various performing groups in which students of the District's 18 Junior High and High Schools participate, this $17 million facility has a state-of-the-art sound system and concert hall acoustics, with a stage capacity of 300 performers and an audience seating capacity of 780 people.  It is also available for groups from the surrounding communities for public and private events. 

As beautifully equipped as this facility is, there are still several items needed that the District was not able to provide.  That's where the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts comes in.  Founded in 2004, the Foundation is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to make the Performing Arts Center a top-notch facility now and for decades to come.  As of now, the Foundation has provided a Grand Piano, a Scrim, a Muslin Backdrop, an Electronic Hoist, Cable & Controls and a Follow Spotlight.  Our wish list includes Choir Risers, Music Stands, Chairs, another Follow Spotlight, a Clear Com System, an Acoustical Shell, Lobby Monitors, Tables, Security Ropes & Stands and maybe even an Electronic Marquee. 

With over $65,000 in purchases so far, you can see we still have a ways to go to meet our goals.  You can help!  Your tax-deductable donation will enable us to make this a state-of-the-art facility second to none!  We've made donating easy on your wallet.  We have several different donation levels, and if  you've donated in the past and wish to donate again, we can consolidate your donations so you will qualify for the highest level possible.

We are in the process of raising money to purchase chairs and music stands.  As of now, each group needs to truck in their own chairs and music stands.  We feel that chairs and music stands are a basic item that should already be available for use at the Performing Arts Center.  Will you help us with our goal to meet this basic necessity?  You can sponsor one chair for $50, one stand for $75 or both a chair and a stand for $125.  Of course there is no limit to the number of chairs and stands you can sponsor but even just one will be a great help.  To donate any amount, please click on the "Donate" button below.  Thank you!
