Dear Potential Sponsor & Volunteer:
Art of Living Coalition is an army of artists, and volunteers that bring art and music programs to Senior Citizens. Our mobile units go to shut-ins, nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living communities, churches, and other health related organizations.
Art and music programs improve the health and lifestyle of the disabled and "OUR" Senior Citizens. Scientific evidence suggests that blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, moods, and the sleep cycle are all positively affected by the arts. Art also enhances the immune system by reducing stress and is an emotional outlet to release anxiety.
Our therapeutic art and music sessions are a way of interacting with individuals with decreased communication skills. Family, friends, healthcare staff, and volunteers, all experience positive health benefits. As a result, new memories, friendships, and treasured keepsakes are developed.
Contact us TODAY via email artoflivingcoalition@yahoo.com or by mail with your contributions, comments, suggestions and prayers. Consider helping us serve "OUR" Senior Citizens by providing funds in the form of a monthly or annual financial gift, and or by donating goods and services.
A copy of our tax-exempt certificate (non-profit corp. #0250160) will be mailed to you promptly following your contribution.
Blessings, Patricia Reeves
