Projects
Our on-going project is the endowment of an annual needs and merit based scholarship for a female student in the City College of New York Department of Theatre and Speech. Our long term goal is to reach up to $100,000 in charitable donations, which will establish the Alexandra DeSantis Memorial Scholarship at CCNY in perpetuity.
Ms. Grace Nevitt
Grace Nevitt is the 5th recipient of the Alexandra DeSantis Memorial Scholarship. Grace is a third year student at CCNY who has been involved in shows every semester she’s been at City College. Last semester, when she wasn’t cast, she asked the director of Into the Woods to help with choreography, which led to a recommendation to choreograph Legally Blonde at a high school in the city. Grace choreograph two shows in her first two years of college!
