I dread the arrival of February 13th and haven't celebrated Valentine's day in many years...too painful. Losing Whitney has changed my family in ways that we can never explain. After 18 years of sadness, Neville, Lauren Paige and I need something positive to focus on at this time of year and hopefully this will be the start of something wonderful. 

Whitney was 11 when she left us on February 13, 1999, she would be 30 this year on November 13, 2017.  Whitney loved music, the arts and people. She was kind and empathetic, she was that kid that spoke to and included kids from all walks of life, all backgrounds and all differences. It is because of all of these things we know that Whitney would have loved SPARC

So this year to celebrate Whitney, to celebrate life and to celebrate love, we would like to challenge our friends, family and Facebook family to learn more about SPARC and to consider making a contribution to SPARC  in Whitney's memory.  Our 9 month goal, starting today February 13 thru November 13 is $30,000 ($3333 a month, $111 a day, or about $5 an hour).  Will you please consider making a contribution to SPARC in celebration of Whitney?

If you don't know SPARC , let us tell you a bit more.
SPARC inspires young people, ages 3-18, to reach their full potential through quality training in the performing arts. SPARC develops life skills among young performers, preparing them for productive lives and leadership.

SPARC provides classes for children both during the school year and the summer, programs including LIVE ART,  New Voices for Theatre,  STAGES, and Spotlight

SPARC's programs help children.... 
Thank you from the bottom or our hearts!  

With much love,

Susan, Neville and Lauren Paige
