This year, the Michael Jared Rollins-Jones Foundation awarded two children with a chance to attend the Yorktown Stage Theater Camp! For the second year, we partnered with the camp in order to find youths who displayed Jared’s passion for theater.
We understand how hard the added expenses of extra curricular activities can be on families. Removing financial barriers that can stifle budding passions is part of our goal with this initiative, and we look forward to expanding our reach in 2026!
Our winners:
Teagan McPherson

Yorktown Stage Theater Camp 2024
Learn more about our first major initiative!
Last year, the Michael Jared Rollins-Jones Foundation announced that we’d award 6 weeks of Yorktown Stage’s theater camp to a qualifying applicant.
Theater played a significant role in Jared’s life, and we acknowledge the difficulty and importance of balancing the mental demands of the performing arts with hardship. Through our application process, we sought children who have a love for the stage, despite an obstacle (financial, physical, etc.) they face in their personal lives.
For the Summer 2024 cycle, we were happy to provide not one, but TWO awards to exceptional youths.
Winners:
