Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) for 2008-09

CFC #68430

"Be a Star in Someone's Life"

 

We are now in the 3rd year of our association with CFC (Combined Federal Campaign), the largest and most effective workplace charity campaign in the world. We are very pleased with this association, as our donations due to CFC have increased every year. We are counting on increasing our donor base and individual contributions yet again this season, to offset the difficult times that the arts are facing in this economic climate. You can help by donating to TWA, Inc. thru CFC! You can also download our CFC flyer and give it to friends, family and neighbors who are federal employees. Tap here for our CFC flyer. Be sure to tell them to use our CFC number, 68430, when donating. If you are a federal employee and would like to donate to TWA, please click here, then enter "tappers" in the search field.

About Knock On Wood Tap Studio (KOW)
Since opening in 1994, Knock On Wood Tap Studio has continued to redefine conventional tap dance, serving a diverse student body and offering classes for all skill levels and age groups in Silver Spring, Maryland. The studio is comprised of three tap studios, with state-of-the-art sprung maple floors. It remains one of only a few facilities of its kind in the United States.


About Tappers With Attitude Youth Ensemble (TWA)
TWA provides kids 10-18 years old a nurturing environment to study and master the uniquely American art form of tap dance (its techniques, artistry, and history), while learning respect, discipline, sharing, caring, and the rewards from working hard, both individually and with others. TWA Youth Ensemble has performed at such events as the Montgomery County Executive's Ball for the Arts and Humanities, Silver Spring's annual Magical Montgomery, Wolf Trap's International Children's Festival, and at numerous venues across the country, as well as at the Beijing Dance Festival in December 2007.
