After years of being a theater mom, I decided to apply what I've learned to help individuals with special needs engage in a therapy-based drama program called Special Gifts Theater (SGT). I absolutely love volunteering and supporting others through the arts in this totally inclusive and immersive theater-based educational program. After 10 weeks in a cast, boot, crutches and a wheelie I will bike and walk my 5Ks and help my SGT castmates at the same time. Please consider sponsoring as I pedal and walk and they dance, sing, act and work their lines while gaining confidence, learning to resolve tricky social situations, and achieving heightened self-worth!
For more information about SGT, please read this awesome article in American Theater: https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/06/23/can-socially-distanced-theatre-still-teach-social-skills/?fbclid=IwAR1rKfD7X59hd7Y5YT0HADApXW8DMvp-rYqojq8xdrlmgx7zbt2aVYImARw.
Thanks in advance for your support!
