Thank you, thank you, thank you. We cannot do all the good we are doing helping people with Parkinson’s disease, adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and ageless and unstoppable adults move and be uplifted without your gifts, your generosity, and your support. It is with your help that we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Ruth Davidson Hahn, President and Artistic Director
