I owe you all an update — and an apology — for being a little MIA.
Over the past year, my business, Bonilla Vocal Academy, has entered its musical theater era and has grown quite quickly and kind of unexpectedly. My focus was shifted and I needed to devote more time and energy into that to keep the momentum going.
Because of that, I’ve made the difficult decision not to host the Just Keep Singing Inc. competition this year. This project deserves more attention, intention, and care than I’ve been able to give it. I have so many ideas on what this nonprofit can grow into but I’ve realized it truly needs a bigger team behind it to help make it happen and I need to actually allow that team to help!
I’m actively looking to build a committed board for Just Keep Singing and am seeking volunteers who have the passion, time, and capacity to be involved. If you have experience serving on a nonprofit board, that would be incredibly helpful. If you don’t have formal experience but are organized, reliable, and eager to learn, I would still love to hear from you.
I’m genuinely sorry that I haven’t been able to make this happen as I know many of you look forward to this event. Please know that this decision comes from a place of wanting to do things the right way, not halfway — because this mission deserves that level of care.
If you feel called to help shape the future of Just Keep Singing Inc., please reach out directly through messages or email [email protected]. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. I believe deeply in this mission, and I’m hopeful for what’s ahead. As always…just keep singing! 💜

If you did, would it change your life?

Probably not.
But for us—it could change someone’s future.

From now until our 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟮𝗻𝗱, we’re rallying 𝟱𝟬 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 to commit to a small, recurring gift- just $𝟱/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 for one year (𝗼𝗿 $𝟱.𝟲𝟵/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 if you’re kind enough to cover the processing fees!)

If we reach our goal, we’ll raise $𝟯,𝟬𝟬𝟬—just in time to help fund our next round of 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀.

That tiny amount might not mean much to you—but together, it becomes something powerful.
Help us keep the music going.
