Theatre Gives Kids Hope
“It’s so far removed from their everyday life. Some of them are homeless, and struggling to find food, and in very abusive homes, or not with their parents at all. To put themselves into this world (of live theatre) that takes them away and gives them the hope of a world that they can have I think was a massive thing.”
32nd Annual Ride for Kids was HUGE Success!
“Having an opportunity to come together with more than 1,000 riders, volunteers, and donors who have committed their time and resources to brightening kids’ lives is truly an inspiring experience,” said Amy Rossman, Executive Director at Rodman for Kids.
