About this event
When the street corner harmonies of the 50s and 60s come together with the rhythms of Africa to raise funds to keep the arts in underserved children's lives....well, it's gotta be the best Sunday afternoon event of the summer! Bring the kids, grandkids....everyone's welcome!
More than ever, children need the joy and healing only the arts can deliver. Come for the music, dance, food and fun. Leave knowing you've made a difference in children's lives.
Since 2008, Dream A World Education (DAWE) has offered Secrets of the Heart® early childhood programs in underserved schools by providing arts, social-emotional learning, diversity, culture and language arts to children ages 4-8. Our digital curriculum, Secrets of the Heart® TV, is now in schools around the world. We envision a world where every child discovers the power of their own creativity and understands how we are connected as a human family.
