❄️✨ Thanks to our amazing partnership with Kendra Scott Foundation, our ARF 5th graders and alumni campers had the incredible opportunity to see Disney's Frozen on Broadway at Bass Concert Hall. From transportation and lunch to a cast Q&A, snacks, and the unforgettable Broadway musical experience, Kendra Scott Foundation made sure our kids felt like VIPs. The Frozen-themed decor set the perfect stage, and seeing the children's excitement, especially during Olaf's appearance and other cast members, was heartwarming. Brooklyn shared how her group of girls were moved to tears during the standing ovation, touched by the talent and inspiration of the performance. This day was filled with joy, bravery, and unforgettable memories. As Elsa would say, "Let it goo, let it gooo!" A huge thank you to Kendra Scott Foundation for your remarkable generosity. Your kindness has left a lasting impact on the ARF children and will be remembered for years to come. The bonus was having another opportunity to have our ARF kids on a college campus. The more exposure to college campus the more they see themselves having an opportunity for education beyond high school.💖 #AndyRoddickFoundation #KendraScottFoundation #FrozenOnBroadway #CommunitySupport #KidsFirst #BroadwayMagic #Gratitude #TexasPerformingArts
