Find Your Light Foundation

Before I post another piece, I wanted to shed some light on a new foundation you may, or may not have heard about before.  If you are a fan of Josh Groban, then you probably know about it.

Recently, he announced his Find Your Light Foundation which is to help enrich the lives of younger kids in the arts.  Throughout his tour, he is picking an arts organization in each city to highlight.  I am all for a foundation like this.  The Arts is an important factor in a child's life and it hurts a little to know that in some schools, the art and music classes have been cut.  Students need a way to 'find their light' in another way that may not be through academics, or recess, or whichever.  Academics is very important, but being creative with art and/or music is also a great way to find yourself.  Some young kids need that outlet.

One easy way to donate is just text ART to 50555 to make a $10 donation.

If you find yourself intrigued even more, check out these links to learn more:
