Alicia Keys & Roc Nation Help 12-Year-Old Save School’s Performing Arts Program

Alicia Keys and Roc Nation came to the rescue of a 7th grader who’s raising money for an NYC school’s performing arts program … and she’s a lot closer to doing that now.

12-year-old Tennyson Artigliere got a huge boost from Alicia and co. to help out a GoFundMe she started in an attempt to keep the Professional Performing Arts School main program alive and kicking … this amid budget cuts that threaten to close it for good.

The kid had a high goal of $102,000 — which would help keep the Performing Arts Program open — even if only for a little bit longer. Alicia — who attended the school — caught wind of the fundraiser, along with the rapper’s entertainment company, and decided to intervene … chipping in a whopping $60,000 toward her goal.

Alicia and Roc Nation’s contribution adds to money they’d already raised … around $50k.

Alicia and Roc Nation aren’t stopping there — as they have also vowed to help raise money for the program every year until the city is able to fund it themselves. Jeremy Allen White — another alumni — has also donated to the cause, pushing out the GFM link on his IG.

Tennyson couldn’t be more grateful for the celebrity assistance, especially from such a notable alum like Alicia. Apparently, Tennyson’s classmates couldn’t believe it when she revealed that Alicia would be stepping in to save their performing arts program.

She added … “We still talk about her legacy every single day.”
