Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to take a minute to give a shout out to the Easter Seals Capper Foundation in Topeka, Kansas! They were the first of four Avril Lavigne Foundation Rockstar Clubs to launch, with the first session of their ARTSTAR camp this past Saturday, October 1st.
They just sent me some photos from their first day of camp– looks like so much fun! Kids at the ARTSTAR camp will work with local artists and certified art therapists to build confidence and express themselves through art work. At the end of the camp their work will become a travelling art show – and I can’t wait to see all of the amazing art they are going to create.
I'm excited that all of the time and planning I've put into my Foundation over the last year is helping to bring fun programming to kids with disabilities through the Avril Lavigne Foundation Rockstar Club at Easter Seals. To learn more about the Rockstar Club, read my original blog about the program
here. I will keep you posted when the other 3 programs launch, and look forward to sharing pictures and stories from the kids in the coming months.
I hope these pictures will inspire you as much as they inspire me to continue to find ways to support children and youth with serious illnesses and disabilities!
Love,
Avril
