S.O.A.R. Special Opportunities Available in Recreation (September 2018 & *October 2019)
I am excited about this grant Twice Upon a String is providing for teens and adults in S.O.A.R (Special Opportunities Available in Recreation). "So You Wanna Be A Rockstar" offers adapted music lessons through Developing Melodies Music Therapy Center. Participants choose between guitar, ukulele, or piano.
S.O.A.R. is a community therapeutic recreation program serving individuals unable to participate in traditional recreation programs. Leisure, social and developmental skills are emphasized to promote the highest level of recreation participation possible.
This grant is offered in honor and memory of our friend and neighbor Mike Cavanaugh. Mike was very involved with S.O.A.R. In our neighborhood and in the community, he was a friend to all and is dearly missed.
UPDATE: After a successful program in 2018, S.O.A.R. reached out inquiring about funding to run the program again in 2019. I was very happy to offer this grant and see this program continue to be a success!
