\"boys1\"<\/a>An important part\u00a0of Jack’s Angels mission is to support the arts for children in the local community in its efforts to raise awareness for the urgent need for pediatric brain tumor research.\u00a0 What began as a small collection of art exhibits and some greatly appreciated young musical artists performances is growing into an annual children’s music and art festival in the SCV-Agua Dulce-Acton community held in May, brain tumor awareness month. \u00a0 The “Art for Jack” 2015 Music and Art Festival for Children <\/a>was\u00a0held at the Sulfur Springs Elementary School MPR, on Sunday, May 3, 2015 from 1-5pm. \u00a0For more details, download our flyer here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

We believe in the healing power of art and music, especially for children. \u00a0This program was inspired by a gift from Peggy Marrone, art teacher at Agua Dulce Elementary School, in the Spring of 2012 when Jack was still alive. \u00a0We were planning a music fundraiser for Jack that July 14, and she showed up on our doorstep with some 65 beautiful paintings of watercolor and crayon, now entitled the “Under the Sea” collection, for the event. \u00a0Unfortunately, Jack entered the progression phase of the disease and we were not able to use the art at that time for the event. \u00a0However, \u00a0because of this gift, we were resolved to create an art event that featured children’s art as our organization’s first event as a public charity. \u00a0For more details, visit the ‘Jack’s Story’ page.<\/p>\n

Our first event as an organization did just that: \u00a0Art for Jack, “Celebrating Children’s Art”, debuted Saturday, May 11 2013 at the Agua Dulce Women’s Club; as soon as our site is rebuilt, we’ll have the information and slideshow from the event. \u00a0Follow the link here to the Daily News<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0The 2nd Annual Art for Jack\u00a0event was held Tuesday, May 20th at the High Desert School in Acton. \u00a0the 3rd Annual “Art for Jack” will be a music and art festival for children May 3, 2015. \u00a0A visual re-cap of the 2014 event follows:<\/p>\n
