We are grateful to Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust for this kind recognition, and to The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation for investing in our youth and the work we do every day. Music changes lives from the very beginning. 🎶

Before children learn to read, write or solve math problems, they begin building the skills that make all of that possible. At Rosie's House in Phoenix, those lessons often start with a song.
