Calling all Taylor Swift fans! Whether you've been part of the journey from her self-titled debut to "Midnights," or you've just discovered her catchy tunes, here’s your chance to experience all the Swiftie magic while contributing to a great cause. The Victoria ISD Education Foundation is thrilled to present "Dream Like Taylor" a lively sing-along event celebrating the rich musical eras of Taylor Swift. This not-to-be-missed gathering will take place on Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Victoria Fine Arts Center.
"Dream Like Taylor" is no ordinary tribute concert; it's a cornerstone fundraiser dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for students across our district. The VISD Education Foundation, a nonprofit driven by a dedicated volunteer board, focuses on funding educational opportunities that stretch beyond what state education mandates cover, providing resources that fuel innovative teaching and propel students toward greater academic and personal achievements.
Each ticket purchase not only promises an evening of unforgettable tunes but also supports groundbreaking educational initiatives. In 2023 alone, the VISD Education Foundation awarded over $63,000 in Grants for Great Ideas, impacting countless students. These grants have brought to life projects like STEM summer camps, sensory-rich outdoor classrooms, and even those popular book vending machines dotting elementary campuses. These innovative tools are not just enhancing learning; they're transforming it.
So why should you come out to "Dream Like Taylor'"? Imagine belting out "Love Story" or getting lost in "All Too Well" with fellow fans, capturing fun moments in a free Swiftie-themed photo booth, and knowing that every song sung contributes directly to a student's education in Victoria. It’s a chance to make a direct impact while enjoying an evening packed with entertainment.
Suzanne Carroll, Board President of the VISD Education Foundation, emphasizes the importance of community support: "Events like 'Dream Like Taylor' fund inspiring educational projects that go beyond typical expectations. We invite everyone to join us for a night of music, fun, and philanthropy as we support the future of our young learners."
