The Boston Arts Academy Foundation, the non-profit that raises funds to support the city’s only public high school for the arts, will present one of its annual Champion awards to state Auditor Dianna DiZoglio at a March 19 reception.
The award recognizes those who support the foundation’s mission to allow students to develop to their full potential as artists, scholars, and citizens, and to provide equitable access to arts education at the Boston Arts Academy. BAAF President and CEO Denella Clark said DiZoglio and this year’s other honorees from the fields of business and education exemplify the spirit of community, creativity, and advocacy that drives the school’s impact in Boston and beyond.
DiZoglio is a longtime supporter of the BAAF, and has sung at previous events held by the organization. The Champion Reception, one of the BAAF’s major annual fundraisers, seeks to raise $300,000 to support arts education at the school, which depends on both public and private funding. Money raised goes to scholarships, student services, and equipment, instruments, and technology.
