Sponsorship Opportunities

The Calgary Arts Summer School was founded in 1993 and for over a decade has provided children and adults with quality performing and visual arts programs in the summer months. Demand for CASSA's programs has steadily increased and the association continues to attract out of province registration.

In order to continue to prove quality education with a high level of professional instruction, the Calgary Arts Summer School is seeking corporate sponsors for long term partnerships.

You will feature heavily in our direct mail campaign to schools across Western Canada, music shops and area related organizations, both in Western Canada and into the U.S.
You receive acknowledgement in all print, audio and on line advertising.

CASSA is a registered charity and your sponsorships will be tax deductible.
Your company will play a major role in enriching Calgary's cultural fabric, helping the city be recognized as a leader in summer music arts programming.

Marissa Staddon Memorial Scholarship

The Marissa Staddon Memorial Scholarship is awarded to the Piano Camper who displays the most outstanding attitude, citizenship and talent. This award reflects the values which are firmly entrenched in the Calgary Arts Summer School Piano Camp’s philosophy and program.

The recipient is a person who:

takes advantage in the finest way possible of all that was offered during the week of Piano Camp,
arrives at the camp with their musical selections extremely well prepared,
throughout the week demonstrates openness to new ideas,
participates enthusiastically in all of the activities,
interacts well with fellow campers and faculty, and
can be described as a positive role model for their fellow campers.

CASSA has set up a Marissa Staddon Memorial Scholarship Fund to award a $100 cash prize to the most outstanding Piano Camp student each year. As the fund grows, this special award will continue and other deserving student awards will be given.

Marissa Staddon was tragically killed in an avalanche in 2003. She had been a student at CASSA piano camps. This scholarship, which reflects her personality, recognizes and encourages others to maintain the high standard that Marissa held for herself.

Irina Ginzburg Memorial Scholarship

The Irina Ginzburg Memorial Scholarship is awarded to the most improved Piano Camper who comes to camp well prepared and incorporates suggestionsand guidance from the clinician and teachers with good will and enthusiasm.

CASSA created a memorial to the late Irina Ginzburg who was an enthusiastic supporter of its summer programs. She was first a volunteer at the Piano Camp, then joined the teaching staff and became an active member of the CASSA Board of Directors. In her honour, a scholarship prize of $100 is awarded to the most improved Piano Camp student(s).
