Rise for a Purpose

Broadway Utica’s mission goes beyond bringing Broadway-tier performances to the valley. A paramount part of our mission is to serve and support our community. Rise for a Purpose is Broadway Utica’s annual campaign. This fund is a vital resource that can be distributed across several different programs, each aimed at benefiting the community, supporting local initiatives, enhancing student programs, and more. By contributing to Rise for a Purpose, you help ensure that our programs continue to educate and entertain both children and the wider community through a broad spectrum of theater and performing arts.

Broadway Utica is Participating in MV Gives 2026!

That’s right, save the date for September 18, 2026. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure the sustainability of our programs and keeps the arts accessible to our community. Our impact extends beyond its performances, with signature programs like the Youth Ambassador Program, Students on Broadway, Beyond the Stage, and UticaWorx.

These initiatives empower local students to step into the spotlight, explore their creativity, build confidence, and grow as future leaders. Donations made through Mohawk Valley Gives directly support these programs, ensuring they continue to shape the lives of young people across the region.
