Project Description

 

               "UNITING CHILDREN OF ALL ETHNICITIES  THROUGH THE ARTS
 
Hugs and Smiles Children’s Foundation provides hope and opportunity for children of all backgrounds,  religions, cultures, and needs.
Our mission is to promote unity through all-inclusive, free and low cost MUSIC, ART, and DANCE programming. We are an organized 501(c-3) non-profit charitable foundation..
Creating new leaders within each community and bringing  them hope, opportunity and joy. Age range of focus 10-17
 
Many schools no longer offer art classes or have music programs, Why is that? 
 
At Hugs and Smiles Children's Foundation we believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore their creative side, learn new skills, and develop compassion through shared community projects.
 
We offer free workshops, exploration, and opportunities in areas such as musicart and dance are known to build confidence, increase self -esteem, and enrich lives. 
 
Our programs help children communicate, connect, and collaborate within a safe environment and explore creative areas like Music, Art, and Dance that have no barriers in race, color, creed or religion. 


With your support, our programming can reach more children, as we hope to expand beyond Southern Florida into other regions.

Please consider donating to our cause.

We are an organized 501(c-3) non-profit charitable foundation, so your contributions are 100% tax –deductible.
 
We have teachers and experts in each modality for regular weekly or weekend workshops.  By teaching art, establishing choirs, coordinating plays/performances, dance programs and recitals, the participants will have an opportunity to work with others in their community, building tolerance and expand their horizons through these shared experiences and more.  

Our team consists of 13 board members and each one contributes something that is in their field. We have a multitude of volunteers and we have been fortunate to obtain a few sponsors and are seeking more as we are being approached by many new corporations to work with moving forward into 2022.

The activities that Hugs and Smiles Children's Foundation provides will give the children a sense of accomplishment, pride and self-esteem, culminating in special fund-raising events and talent showcases that will then provide partial funding for additional programming.

In the current divisive and uncertain social and political climate, we need to do our best to ensure that our children have access to education and programming that allows them the freedom to be fully self-expressed, and shine in otherwise unexplored avenues.

We provide hope and opportunity for children of all backgrounds and ethnicities through free and low cost music art and dance programs  in person and online zoom classes. We are also creating a career path for college students who want to have a career in the arts and give back to the community by helping children in need.

​SUPPORTING & UNITING CHILDREN OF ALL ETHNICITIES THROUGH FREE MUSIC, ART, & DANCE PROGRAMS:  AGES 8-17

 Many schools no longer offer art classes or have music programs, we believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore their creative side, learn new skills, and develop compassion through shared community projects. We will be offering free workshops, exploration, and opportunities in those areas, as music, art and dance are known to build confidence, increase self -esteem, and enrich lives. Our programs help children communicate, connect, and collaborate within a safe environment. Music, Art, and Dance have no barriers in race, color, creed or religion. The arts have been proven to inspire, elevate and ignite the passions of the individual, allowing them the freedom to be fully self-expressed and shine in otherwise unexplored avenues.
