About the Charity

MCHS Visual Arts Booster Club via MBX Foundation

The mission of the Mira Costa High School (MCHS) Visual Art Education Booster club, also called the 9×12 Fund, is to create an effective fundraising group in support of MCHS Visual Art Education. The 9×12 Fund connects students, parents, local businesses, and boosters with opportunities to donate to MCHS Visual Art Education. Core on-going fundraising programs include events, crowdfunding platforms, selling student-made products, local partner programs and sponsorships, and other initiatives. The primary driving principle of the 9×12 Fund is to effectively raise money for MCHS Visual Art Education in ways that are low-impact to the staff, and facilitate opportunities for students to feature their art work and creative overall awareness of the needs and successes of MCHS Visual Art Education and Programs.

The 9x12 fundraising event was Saturday, May 4, 6-10pm at Resin art studios in Hermosa Beach.

You can still make donations, just click SUPPORT NOW and select the donation level you would like.

The state and local budgets for art at Mira Cost High School (MCHS) is drastically under-subsidized. Without your help, visual art programs at MCHS will end up being left behind, along with all the benefits that art provides for personal and professional development.

Art is central to our ability to think creatively and become more innovative in our solutions to problems. Art is more than learning to draw, paint and make things. It is an outlet for expression and a laboratory for creative problem-solving. It helps develop skills and abilities that other fields of learning often overlook.

The 9X12 Mira Costa Fund will fill the void left by state and local funding and provide students with supplies, instruction and leadership that will be sustainable for years to come. Please join us and help bring art to life here in the South Bay.

If you have questions or need more information, please email: info@9x12.org

Your donations are tax deductible and you will receive an email receipt upon completion of your donation.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT!

Funding for art programs around the country continue to be reduced. With this in mind, we looked for a way that we could raise funds and include the kids as part of the process. We challenged the art students of Mira Costa High School to create labels for a candles that give back.
