DANCING WITH THE ANGELS
KDA and Bakersfield Angels were proud to host Dancing with the Angels, a family affair focused on using the arts to connect our foster care community through movement, music, and visual art on Saturday, April 12 at the Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater.
Featuring arts classes taught by a variety of professionals, Dancing with the Angels was crafted for foster families to enjoy an artful experience rooted in connecting parents/guardians with their children.
The program cultivated creativity and self-expression, promoted trust and communication, build confidence and teamwork, and offered a day where achievements were celebrated and memories were made through a valued community experience.
DANCING with the ANGELS PARTNER - BAKERSFIELD ANGELS
Bakersfield Angels was founded in 2020 as a local chapter of the national non-profit, National Angels. Their mission is to walk alongside children, youth and families experiencing foster care in Kern County, by offering consistent support through relationship building, intentional giving, and mentorship. The Love Box program matches groups of volunteers with fostering families to provide a sense of community and support. The Dare to Dream program provides consistent, one-on-one mentorship to youth in foster care. They believe not everyone is called to foster, and not everyone is called to adopt, but everyone can make a difference in the life of a child. www.bakersfieldangels.org
