This summer, our program at the Academy Street Firehouse, Newark, focused on creating original PSA's on healthy eating. Lead by Teaching Artist Chelsea Manifold two groups of children in grades 1-4 and grades 5-8 participated in a five-week media arts program where they learned about cameras, sound equipment, interviewing techniques, and animation.

Arts to Grow is honored to have been chosen by Youth, I.N.C to participate in the Celebration Fundraising Training program, a multi-year capacity building service grant. Youth, I.N.C's annual investment in 14 promising, small to mid-sized youth organizations is designed to strengthen fundraising capacity and has helped more than 100 organizations raise over $40 million since 1995.

We invite you to join us in the annual culminating event A Celebration to Benefit New York Kids on November 12, 2012, at the Waldorf Astoria New York where we will collectively "celebrate with others who believe that change starts by serving those most in need."

Your individual ticket at $300 or a sponsorship starting at $1,000, directly impacts the number of children who can participate in our programs in 2013.
