Become a Discovery Arts Celebrity Ambassador
Discovery Arts is currently seeking “Celebrity Ambassadors” from all art mediums to get involved in various levels, please consider sharing your craft with children needing your encouragement while they are in the hospital.
Use your artistic talent as a musician, an actor or artist to help us spread the word about the need to help children in the hospital cope with their illness and the treatments they must endure. As an example, Cathy Rigby participates during her performances of Peter Pan, offering raffle tickets to the children in each nights audience. One lucky child wins a walk on part with the cast and has the chance to "fly" after the show with Cathy. McCoy-Rigby Entertainment has generously donated proceeds to Discovery Arts during the Production of Peter Pan and plans to take Discovery Arts with them on tour this year!
As a Performer and Talented artist, here are some ideas about how you can get involved right in your own community during your performances. We'd also love to hear about your creative ideas and how you see your involvement as a Discovery Arts Celebrity Ambassador.
