“I like to consider myself a Riverzedge Arts success story. The most significant lesson I learned from working there is the importance of trying.”
“But perhaps most importantly, OSCT support for Riverzedge Arts brought Weedney into the community of caring people whose belief in her incredible ability, she says, keeps her going. “
“Words cannot express how grateful I am for the never-ending support of my former Studio Director Kim Keiter, (Artistic Director) Brad Fesmire, and everyone else at Riverzedge Arts. Their encouragement guides me daily.”
Above all, OSCT showed our youth that they are cared about and believed in. And showing care for the people and communities is how we help our teens build a more creative, more sustainable future.
A special Thank You and Happy New Year to the trustees of the Simon W. Wardwell Foundation for the generous grant to Ocean State Charities Trust that will help us increase the amount of dollars awarded to Central Falls, Pawtucket, Lincoln and Woonsocket.
