STEM2HEArts Salutes FELECIA GASTON
VIDEO: Felecia Gaston, founder of Phoenix Project of Marin & Performing Stars of Marin (founded in 1990) is being celebrated by the Association of Fundraising Professionals Golden Gate Chapter as the 2014 Vineyards Award winner.
The Vineyards Award, which celebrates an organization having less than $500,000 in private support, goes to Performing Stars of Marin, founded in 1990 with the belief that providing involvement in art, music, theater, and other enrichment opportunities for low income and at-risk children would help them “reach for the stars” as they grew and matured. It has served over 1,000 children and has witnessed countless success stories.
Spurred by her own inability to take ballet lessons as a child, Gaston launched Performing Stars of Marin in 1990, a nonprofit organization that provides approximately 100 low-income children with access to the visual, literary, and performing arts each year. With an office located in the Marin Housing Authority, a 2,000-person housing project, Performing Stars acts like stage parents, connecting youngsters with opportunities in dance and theatre, making sure paperwork gets filed, and young people are able to afford and get to classes. Field trips to the ballet or to see a play also teach grooming and etiquette.
Two years ago, troubled by a rise in crime and "what was happening with young black males in the community," Gaston spearheaded a joint effort with law enforcement, the Marin Housing Authority and others to start the Phoenix Project of Marin. Located in the same 200-block section of the housing project as Performing Stars of Marin, the Phoenix Project connects approximately 40 13-30 year-old young men with the mental health, employment and other services they need to steer themselves toward success.
STEM2HEArts was founded in 2015, and is located in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco, CA.
The Jay Paul Company, a San Francisco based Silicon Valley Developer has created a video on their proposed new development at 181 Fremont Street in San Francisco.
