Community Stewardship
The G-Star Arts and Education Foundation’s
Commitment to the Community

The G-Star Arts and Education Foundation extends its support by providing programs dedicated to career-based arts’ education that further leads to the building and sustaining of an entire industry in film production for career employment. These programs simultaneously spur giant economic benefits to all of Florida.
  An extensive variety of programs are provided at the G-Star School of the Arts for Motion Pictures and Broadcasting’s 10+ acre campus housing the largest Film, TV Production and Acting School in the world.
  The Foundation mirrors the G-Star School’s “raised bar” practice by promoting top performance in all its programs. The Foundation’s programs help sharpen movie and theater production skills by incorporating state of the art equipment, professional instruction and top global talent. To maintain its high level of success, the G-Star Arts and Education Foundation remains determined to provide the right programs, resources and equipment that best enhance and prepare skilled participants to meet film production’s growing demand. Charitable goals support the statistically significant success of these non-profit programs dedicated to children and the arts within the community to seed, stabilize, vitalize and ensure a continuing wave in new industry. Our industry focus is film production, in addition to theater production, as these serve to promote the depth and breadth of communication across all cultures. Communication is our future as the world becomes increasingly culturally diverse.
  Additional community organizations and their programs supported by the G-Star Arts and Education Foundation include Palm Beach County’s Film and Television Commission, Kiwanis International, Kiwanis Club of Palm Beach and other local and cultural organizations that further the Foundation’s mission. Thanks to the combined efforts of forward-thinking community members, the G-Star Arts and Education Foundation has sparked to fruition a promising future in a new, economically viable, film industry here.
  Sponsorship opportunities are eligible for tax-exemption acknowledgement through such events as the G-Star Arts and Education Foundation’s annual X-Scream Halloween Haunt. The 2010 event hopes to achieve status in the Guinness World Book of Records as the largest such event. The 2009 X-Scream Haunt, featured on the Travel Channel as one of the largest and scariest Halloween events, came close to breaking the record.
  The X-Scream Haunt has now reached “destination” status. Situated along Congress Avenue, and highly visible to heavy drive-by traffic, thousands of participants attend the family-friendly fun. An early Haunt is enjoyed by the younger children who afterward stay for the variety and magic shows, dance performances, game booths, dunk tank and specialty foods. The older children and kids at heart enjoy the later show complete with actors and staging created completely over the summertime by incoming Freshman students. (Unbeknownst to the students, their “summer camp” experience incorporates valuable mathematic and other academic skills while learning to build themed production stages and develop their related characters. By the time students arrive for their first day of school at G-Star, they’re already acquainted with some 250 of their “new” classmates. The summertime program learning eases the transition into the classroom.)
  Sponsor’s Target Markets are well served, thanks to the many film and theater productions in addition to the consistent exciting events and activities on campus. G-Star Foundation activities are designed to raise the funds necessary for career scholarships, new equipment, textbooks and resources for the G-Star School of the Arts. The Foundation’s mission includes capital building and facilities investments that improve and expand G-Star programs. The Foundation strives to expand the G-Star School and Studios’ reach in the performing arts by arriving at new ways to assist with current and future building needs and programs designed to help students succeed while continuing to flourish following both high school and college graduation.
  The G-Star Arts and Education Foundation is proud of its collective and continued efforts in outreach and service to the G-Star School of the Arts and the local community. The impact upon the students and participants served remains significantly positive. The resounding impact on all of Palm Beach County and the State of Florida continues to attract world renown.
