NATIONAL LEON DAY
National Leon Day marks June 25 as six months away from Christmas day. Leon is Noel spelled backward and is a day some crafters begin planning their homemade gifts and decorations. It can also be a day for those who miss the winter holidays to have a mini-winter celebration in June. #NationalLeonDay

While supporting local nonprofits through every show, our first production’s proceeds will benefit Mission 2540 here in Amarillo, Texas.
Mission 2540 is a non-profit 501(c)3 apartment ministry serving families living in low-income apartment communities. We work to meet their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. Founded in 2004, we strive to live out the call of Matthew 25:40 to reach out to the least of these. Through weekly after-school and summer activities, residential rent and utility bill assistance, groceries help, and a variety of outreaches, camps and other programs throughout the year, our desire is to “Feed, Clothe, and Love” our neighbors in need. If you’d like to support us financially or as a volunteer, please visit our website at mission2540.org.
