BABS'LAB Vision to Grow Campaign

Celebrate where we've been. Invest in where We Are GoinG.

Goal: $13,000

Ten years ago, nearly 200 people stepped up to raise $13K to transform an empty room in Jacksonville's CoRK Arts District into a working performance studio and improv training center. That investment made BABS'LAB possible.

Now, for our ten year anniversary, we’re raising an additional $13,000 to improve our facilities and expand what we offer to the community.
