IMPACT CYT Campaign

Help CYT Nashville Raise $10,000 This #GivingTuesday to Expand Opportunities for Our Youth.
Christian Youth Theater (CYT) Nashville is growing, and with growth comes new challenges. This year, with the addition of a second location, our operating costs have increased—but our commitment to delivering excellence in all areas of theater remains stronger than ever. This #GivingTuesday, we are raising $10,000 to offset these increased costs, ensuring that we can continue to deliver high-quality experiences for our students while pursuing our goals of achieving excellence in every production.

CYT helped me to become more confident in who I was, but more importantly they encouraged me to see who I was in God's eyes.
