Through a Kohler Foundation grant, RCS Empowers, Inc expanded its Advanced Therapeutic Art Program, creating meaningful opportunities for individuals with disabilities and special needs to build artistic, vocational, and communication skills.

The program serves as a pathway to greater self-confidence, self-expression, and community engagement through art. Participants explored new artistic techniques, connected with local arts organizations through educational tours, and gained exposure to art as a potential career path.

One participant, Sorrell Anderson, has grown into a confident artist who now speaks publicly about his work and the impact art has had on his life.

By fostering creativity and connection, RCS Empowers is helping individuals discover their talents and share them with the broader community. 💙

A Kohler Foundation grant helped support Lakeshore Chorale, Inc. in a May 2026 concert, Animal Crackers, a creative collaboration with the Humane Society of Sheboygan County. The event brought together music lovers, animal advocates, and community partners for a memorable evening that celebrated the human-animal connection while supporting local shelter pets.

The concert generated more than $2,400 in ticket sales, while raffle baskets donated by local businesses helped raise more than $1,280 for the Humane Society. The partnership also introduced new audience members to the Chorale, expanded community engagement, and even helped shine a spotlight on adoptable pets.

One special guest, Creed, attended the event before finding his forever home just days later. Other featured dogs also found positive outcomes through adoption and rescue placement, demonstrating the power of community connections.

We're proud to support organizations like Lakeshore Chorale that use the arts to bring people together and strengthen our communities. 🎶🐾

We're excited to share an update from former HVK Scholarship recipient Caden Solle, who recently competed at the 2026 International Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) in Midland, Texas.

As Payload Lead for Liberty University's 10K rocket team, he helped design and develop a galvanometric laser engraver that successfully engraved the rocket's omega symbol during flight. The project marked the team's first successful competition payload in four years and helped contribute to an impressive 18th-place finish out of 144 teams worldwide.

The experience strengthened his passion for pursuing a career in the aerospace and defense industry after graduation.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
