🎨 Partner Highlight Friday: Skylar from The Heart in Art 🎨 Meet Skylar, a rising junior and a talented young artist with a passion for creativity! Thanks to the funds they raised in the Rodman Ride for Kids, Skylar received a scholarship from The Heart in Art to attend our Shark Week "Making Art with Food" art burst this summer! These 3-hour art sessions provide kids with the opportunity to unleash their creativity in unique and fun ways. Skylar truly embraced the experience, using everyday food items to craft imaginative and original artwork. Without the fundraising platform provided by Rodman for Kids, Skylar may not have had the opportunity to participate in this life-changing week of art! We're proud to support young artists like Skylar and can't wait to see how she continues to grow and inspire others through her art! 🎉🦈 To learn more about our Charity Partner Program, visit https://lnkd.in/dnNaZ8Ur #PartnerHighlight #ArtBurst #YouthArt #Rodman4Kids #TheHeartInArt

🌟 Today’s Partner Highlight Friday features the incredible Nayary from Family Nurturing Center of Massachusetts (FNC) 🌟 Nayary’s journey with FNC started before she could even walk! Her mother, Yesika, first connected with FNC through their Welcome Baby program, and from there, they participated in a Parent-Child Playgroup and the Nurturing Parenting Program. Yesika’s experience with FNC inspired her to become a Parent Partner, helping other new parents find the same support she did. Now, Nayary, a vibrant and responsible tween, is giving back by volunteering at FNC in age-appropriate ways—all while enjoying being a kid. Last fall, she and her mom were thrilled to attend Frozen: the Musical through Rodman for Kids' Theatre for Kids program! This year marks 20 years of partnership between Family Nurturing Center and Rodman for Kids. Nayary’s story is a beautiful reminder of the lasting impact that support, partnership, and collaboration can have on families.

🌟 Partner Highlight Friday: Penelope from Boston Education Fund (BEDF) 🌟 BEDF's favorite opportunity they've received as a Charity Partner of Rodman for Kids is being able to give children their first-ever theater experience through our Theatre for Kids program. Seeing the pure joy on the faces of kids like Penelope, who joined the BEDF community in 2022, is truly heartwarming. At just 5 years old, Penelope was captivated by the theater's ambiance and the magic of the stage. 🎭 BEDF shared, "Thank you, Rodman for Kids, for making us part of these memorable moments!"
