Dr. Jann-Marie Culhane (pictured with executive director, Terry Barber) underwrote all expenses for the event and made an additional $3,500 donation to support A4AC programming!  Thank you to all who attended and supported A4AC, but especially, of course to Dr. Jann-Marie Culhane.

Jackie Robbins, a clinical musician with tremendous experience and ability, is very actively working in our Therapeutic Arts Program. Because of a donation from the Sandra Robbins fund, she is able to continue her work with A4AC, helping the elderly, people at the end of life, and the families who are dealing with loss.

Jonathan Cummings

We would also like to thank Jonathan Cummings who continues to engage residents at the Grand Oaks of Palm City, FL. This month he encouraged them to sing along, which is useful for memory care. Not only did he have fun, but the residents we very receptive!   Jonathan has become a favorite at Grand Oaks, and we aren't surprised.

Artists for a Cause supports artists who serve community needs. 
logo

Artists for a Cause is a national nonprofit organization that supports artists who serve community needs. Some programs help artists and charities to get the most out of their collaboration, while most produce results directly, by feeding the poor, healing the sick, or solving other problems through unique artistic solutions. Additionally, we never ask artist professionals in a struggling industry to donate or give away their livelihood.  No program is merely about art for arts’ sake –
Artists for a Cause is about the arts as a solution.
 
We would like to thank the following for their support.
