As Spokesperson and Board Member for Discovery Arts, Ms. Rigby continues to reach out to audiences with her inspiration and smile. Discovery Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that brings the healing power of the arts to children with cancer, serious blood disorders and life threatening illness while they are in the hospital receiving treatment. "Seeing these children and their families first hand really makes you grateful for your own healthy children. I am excited to be the Spokesperson for Discovery Arts and to be a part of something that gives children who are undergoing cancer treatment a creative fun filled way to express themselves, while in an environment that is far from normal... for these kids, normalcy is their greatest wish. Discovery Arts proves that anything is possible.”, says Cathy Rigby.
In her recurring musical theatrical role as Peter Pan, Rigby has witnessed firsthand the positive impact of imagination and creative play for seriously ill young audience members. She said, “Many children with special needs come to visit after the shows. Some express their desire to fly like Peter despite their illness, some have asked me to ‘fly’ to their home and take them to Neverland, and some just want ‘Peter’ to sprinkle them with a little fairy dust. Each child has incredible creativity, imagination and such courage! Through Discovery Arts, I want to bring the wonderful healing powers of theater arts right to their bedside!”
The National Peter Pan tour launched on August 24, 2011 and is scheduled through 2012.

Concert under the stars at Art Six Coffee House to benefit Discovery Arts
On Thursday October 20th, Art Six Coffee House in Denton, TX will hosted a benefit concert for the non-profit Discovery Arts, featuring an exciting roster of local musicians. Discovery Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that brings music, art, dance and drama to children who are in the hospital receiving treatment for cancer and other life threatening illnesses. Plans are currently underway to bring ‘Art Adventures’ to Medical City Children's Hospital in Dallas.
‘Music For A Cause’ featured the musical talents of Paul Putman, Regine Kalala and Katie Puryear, band members Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, and Kirstin Maldonado of Pentatonix, who are currently competing on “The Sing Off” on NBC, as well as, the UNT Glee Club.
The concert was promoted by Discovery Arts’ Texas Program Coordinator, Katie Cline. Plans are under way to bring Discovery Arts ‘Arts Adventures’ to children in Dallas who are battling life threatening illnesses. “The arts are an escape. It gives these very sick children a sense of normalcy that they are completely robbed of when they face the monster of cancer. Most adults can hardly fathom facing this demon... when a child is forced to grow up almost over night, it causes great need for emotional expression and stability. Discovery Arts brings joy, hope, and laughter through the power of the arts and imagination.”, said Katie Cline.
Carousel of Possible Dreams Orange County - Team Discovery Arts
Dear Friends,
On September 27th, we will be riding on the Carousel of Possible Dreams at South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA to raise $10,000 in support of Arts Adventures for 100 children with life threatening illnesses. I have taken on the challenge to jump on the carousel and help my team raise resources for this important event. With your support, our team can do it!
Discovery Arts provides the healing power of the arts to children with cancer and other life threatening illnesses while they are hospitalized for treatment. Our programs, called Arts Adventures, are fun, creative adventures in music, dance, art and drama that strengthen the emotional health of critically ill children and positively impact their treatment and recovery. All of our programs and services are offered free of charge to the hospitals, patients and their families.
Our Possible Dream is to be able to provide additional new "Arts Adventures" for 100 children with cancer in southern California. Our fundraising goal is $10,000 (or more!), which will help provide additional new Arts Adventures Programs to the children hospitalized at six different southern California hospitals. With your help, we can continue to provide the joy and healing benefits of the arts to many more critically ill children.
Want to help us make our dream a reality? Join our team today by clicking on Join Team (the suggested fund-raising goal for individuals is $500 or more), or make a donation in support of our Dream. Thank you!
