Support Our 18th Annual Culture Show!
We are the Nigerian Students Association (NSA) at UCLA, a student-led organization committed to celebrating and preserving Nigerian culture and heritage on campus and in the greater Los Angeles community. This year marks our 20th anniversary and the 18th annual Culture Show, a highly anticipated event that showcases our traditions through music, dance, fashion, food, and art—all organized by students.
Due to significant campus funding cuts, we're facing major challenges covering key expenses like cultural meals for 700 attendees, traditional clothing for performers, and venue and production costs. We’re asking for your support to help keep this meaningful tradition alive and accessible to all.
Despite our long-standing tradition, this year’s NSA Culture Show faces major funding gaps due to campus-wide budget cuts. We need support to cover essentials like food for 700+ attendees, traditional clothing, venue costs, and more.
Without your help, we risk cutting key parts of the experience that make our show authentic and meaningful. That’s why we’re turning to our community—people like you—to help us keep this tradition alive.
