- $17,000 spent. Successfully implemented the Cardio n Canvas wellness program, serving 15 participants through a 10-week series that integrated physical activity, creative expression, and health education. The program promoted healthy lifestyles, reduced social isolation, and encouraged participants to improve their physical and emotional well-being through structured fitness and art-based activities.
- $25,000 spent. Established five strategic community partnerships with nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, and community stakeholders to expand access to art and health initiatives. These collaborations increased organizational capacity, supported program development, enhanced outreach efforts, and strengthened the delivery of health education and creative wellness programming within underserved communities.
