Empowering Minds. Igniting Creativity.
Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education is excited to announce that we received a $15,000 award from The New Yankee Stadium Community Benefits Fund! This grant will support Casita's SmARTKids Summer Program, which provides cultural, educational, and recreational activities for 250 elementary school aged children from the South Bronx. We are delighted that the New Yankee Stadium Community Benefits Fund is helping to support Casita's summer programming and help forge a brighter future for our program participants.
Thanks to the vision and generosity of the late Gaetana Enders, Casita Maria’s Music Program was launched in 2010 to bring high quality music education to hundreds of children in the South Bronx. Today, over 250 children receive daily instruction in general music, violin, piano, voice and musical theater wherein they are taught the skills and dedication of the form, while enriching their lives with the joy of music.
