Today is the final day of our midyear campaign. We give thanks to everyone who has already donated, bringing us to 70% of our goal of $10,000. We have?until midnight tonight?to reach that goal.?Will you help us get there? Why ARTZ Philadelphia? Why now? The freedom to?be?ourselves — whoever we are in this moment; to?express?ourselves in whatever way feels most comfortable, without fear of judgment or stigma; to?find?what brings us joy; and to?connect?with each other however we can. These are pre-conditions for quality of life that most of us desire, regardless of a dementia diagnosis… Our community members tell us their yearnings for these freedoms bring them to ARTZ Philadelphia. And we always want to be there for them. If you are able to make a donation to get us even closer to our $10,000 goal, we would be so grateful. But we know just how many good causes that tug on your resources and heart strings are coming at you these days, so if you aren't able to give, would you be willing to re-share this post? Every little bit helps, whether in dollar amounts or in helping us to get the word out. Thank you, everyone, for supporting the quality of life of our friends, families, neighbors, and colleagues affected by dementia!

On July 1st, we started our twelfth year of supporting people living with dementia and their care partners through small group programs in which they build relationships with each other, rediscover their strengths and talents, and contribute to each others' well-being through shared experiences around the arts. Visual art. Music. Movement. Horticulture. If it brings joy to our community members, we do it. We are nearing the end of our midyear campaign, "BECAUSE OF ARTZ, I am free to...," featuring the experiences and words of our community members, some living with dementia, some loving people living with dementia. As you all know, this is a tough time to be fundraising with all that is pulling at people's heartstrings, fears, and resources worldwide. And yet, this is the most critical of times to ensure that people living with dementia are not forgotten, that their quality of life is not dismissed as dispensable. Please help us spread the word and ensure that our community members can continue to tell us that BECAUSE OF ARTZ, they are free to be themselves, free to learn, free to be joyful, free to join together with others in experiences that are meaningful and give them hope. https://lnkd.in/eq_MDkqW Sheryl Watson MBA, PHR Kenneth Chin Christine Friello-Fini Nancy L.
