On the evening of Saturday, June 3rd, 250 guests walked through a vibrant, larger-than-life installation spelling “JOY” on their way into the ASAP! Celebrates Joy annual fundraising event hosted at the Frederick Gunn School. The event was held in support of ASAP!’s arts-infused programs, and their 2023 theme ‘the joy in learning is doing.’ Before dinner and dancing, guests experienced powerful poetry and drumming performances by ASAP! students, and cheered to Congresswoman Jahana Hayes’ reflection on the meaningful impact of arts education on young lives. ASAP! is immensely grateful for their supporters who enable them to continue providing impactful programs to youth throughout the state.
