We’re so grateful to SiriusXM Cares for investing in the next generation of storytellers. 💙🎙️

Through a generous $25,000 donation, SiriusXM helped make CoachArt’s first-ever Podcast Club possible, giving CoachArt kids the opportunity to explore podcasting from the ground up.

Over four weeks, young creators developed ideas, wrote scripts, recorded, edited, and brought their own audio projects to life. SiriusXM team members also joined the club to share their expertise and introduce participants to the many creative roles and career paths behind a podcast.

A special thank-you to Rich Garcia, Audio Specialist, Podcasts; Greta Pazzaglia, Senior Podcast Operations Specialist; and Codi Fischer, Director of Programming, SiriusXM Media, for sharing your time, knowledge, and encouragement with our young creators. We loved having you be part of this experience and seeing the impact your mentorship had on the kids.

Thank you, SiriusXM, for helping our young creators find their voices and discover what’s possible. 🎧💙

Art History Club proved that the best way to appreciate a masterpiece is to paint one yourself!

Our students received pre-sketched canvas outlines of some of the most iconic artworks in history and painted along together as they explored the fascinating stories behind each piece and the remarkable artists who created them.

Each young artist brought their own personal twist, color choices, and creative spirit to these legendary works, making each piece as unique as the person who painted it.

CoachArt's budding art historians left the club not just knowing more about the art world, but with a masterpiece of their very own to show for it!

Missed the Takeover? Here’s the recap:
Our San Francisco Associate Board successfully baked their first sourdough as part of our Team Possible Challenge! They raised $536 toward their $1,000 fundraising goal, and are over halfway there!

Every contribution helps create more opportunities for kids and siblings facing serious illness to discover confidence, connection, and joy through CoachArt’s free programs.

Help them cross the finish line to reach that $1,000 goal! 💙 Share this video or click our link in bio.

☀️🎨 Summer may be winding down, but we’re still dreaming about Camp CoachArt! 💭💛

Our creative campers spent four weeks crafting, exploring, and making new friends, all from the comfort of home. With an all-inclusive camp kit, they brought their imaginations to life while earning a special Camp CoachArt patch along the way! 🏕️✨

🎨 We got crafty with:
✈️ Travel tic-tac-toe sets
🌿 Nature bookmarks
📓 Personalized journals
👜 Carry-all pouches
📿 Braided bead keychains
🐚 Seashell trinket dishes

And we put our curiosity to work, too! Campers explored aerodynamics with paper airplanes ✈️ and learned about Earth’s magnetic field by making their very own compasses 🧭🌎.

So many projects, new skills, and summer memories packed into one camp kit! 💛🏕️✨ Thank you Coach Emily for being the best troop leader.

Well, this sure makes us smile. 🥹🧵💕 Swipe through to reveal the full quilt!

Our Story Quilt Club was full of creativity, imagination, and lots of stories to tell. Students used felt and no-sew techniques to bring their personal stories to life, one quilt square at a time.

By the end, all those individual stories came together into one beautiful creation. A little piece of each student, stitched together. ✨

🦋 The East Coast CoachArt kids had a blast on Saturday at the New York Botanical Garden. We explored Moomin’s Adventure world, watered the edible plant garden, sketched at the reflection pond, 🌳🏠climbed a tree house and filled out 📓custom nature journals that Coach Kristi made for us with love and care! 💙 Many fun memories were made along with connecting with our staff, volunteers and CoachArt families in-person.

🩵 Thank you to our donors and supporters who have made in person events like this possible & free for our families.

Follow & share for more in-person events!

Thank you Coach Jess for leading us in our Paint Club where we painted everything from a 🐝 busy bee on a coneflower to a sun-drenched lemon tree on the Amalfi Coast. 🍋

Our artists got the chance to hone their skills and express their creativity using the bold, versatile medium of acrylics.

What kind of day are you having?

💛 Everything we do is for the community & we love to hear from you about our events!

📣 Here's what some had to say about our Bay Area Field Day:

"Thank you for the wonderful Bay Area Field day yesterday. It was lots of fun and the best part was meeting you both in person. There was so much food, gifts for the children, and lots of fun activities. The girls enjoyed it a lot and were talking about it on the return drive too."

"It's always great meeting up with the CoachArt community and coaches"

"Thank you for this in person community gathering park day. We had a blast!! Can't wait to do it again really soon"

"We cannot wait for the next in person club with CoachArt!!!"

🎸✨ This club struck all the right chords. Thanks to Coach Victor's guidance our students wrote and performed their own original songs!

🎵 One parent shared, "It's great to know she had the courage to perform her song for the class... Ella really opened up in this class, and in such a short time, we feel she's learned so much."

✨ Big thanks to our donors as well! Because of you we were able to raffle new guitar stands. We hope they inspire even more practice and performances for those who won!
