I’m Ria Verma, and I’m proud to be part of CoachArt’s Associate Board as we host a fun bowling workshop for local NYC families this October. CoachArt brings joy and possibility to kids facing serious illness, and this afternoon will give kids and their siblings a chance to laugh, play, and connect with others who understand what they are going through. Simple moments like strikes, shared snacks, and high fives can brighten a child’s day and remind families they are not alone.

Creating these experiences takes more than goodwill. Your support helps cover the cost of the bowling afternoon and ensures CoachArt can continue offering free programs that spark creativity, build friendships, and restore a sense of normalcy for kids managing health challenges. Every donation helps provide materials, instructors, transportation support, and the little extras that turn an event into a memorable day.

I believe every child deserves moments of joy and the chance to just be a kid. By contributing to this fundraiser, you are helping CoachArt deliver consistent, caring programs that nurture resilience and bring community to families when they need it most.

Please consider making a gift to support our bowling workshop and CoachArt’s ongoing programs. Your generosity will create lasting smiles and meaningful connections for kids and families in the NYC area.
