Danny’s vision for inspiring hope in the hearts and minds of Milwaukee children has been thriving for the past three years through Sophia’s Heart’s after-school Music & Arts Programs. Jeff Krumbein, Program Director leads the programs including contemporary vocal and dance programs and the recently launched audio/visual arts programs.
“It’s so gratifying to see the difference our program is making in the lives of the youth in the Milwaukee community,” said Gokey, “It hasn’t always been easy to impart the vision of what we are trying to accomplish, however, slowly but surely people are seeing a glimpse of what we have seen, and offered us the support that we so desperately need. Thank you to our Milwaukee supporters and partners for collaborating with us in this endeavor. Alone we can do very little, but working together hand in hand we make an unbelievable impact. ”
