To An Apraxic Child, Art is Like Singing ~ To a Deaf Child, Art is Like Music 

Imagine going to school, year round, just to learn how to communicate. Imagine little feet pattering as they Two Step down vast blank hallways. Imagine arriving early & staying late to be submersed in sign language. Imagine spending more time at school than anywhere else, or even living at school.  At St. Rita's School For The Deaf, they believe every child deserves a voice. For the past 100 yrs. St. Rita's School has been transforming the lives of those with disabilities, and not a single child has been turned away because of their inability to pay. At a school focused on developing & implementing innovative techniques to unlock children's voices, teaching American Sign Language to students' families on top of preparing children to soar in a Typical Situation, shiny and new is no longer important. When funds are scarce, aesthetics don't matter.  You and Me Together can make magical murals, turn a dark elevator into a Yellow Submarine, and transform lower level walkways into imaginary portholes. 

My 3 year old son Jude has Apraxia & he is Why I Am hosting this raffle. His father, Henry Luniewski is the drum tech for Carter Beauford of the Dave Matthews Band. It is through this generous & philanthropic organization that we have been shown "to give is to begin to live".

The prizes can be viewed at Cincinnati Riverbend Music Center, July 9th when doors open, until 7:20, and again at intermission. Please come visit our POP-tastic table designed & donated by local mural artist, Mural Pop. We hope to be "stage right" in the concourse. There will be more opportunities to view the Prizes at our Pop-tastic table during the St. Rita Fest July 11,12, & 13. Arrangements will be made for local pick-up/delivery, or shipped worldwide.
