Happy Hanukkah! A candlelight menorah between two blue stars of David with the words Happy Hanukkah in front. Today's the fifth night of Hanukkah and BEAT would like to wish everyone who's observing a happy and safe celebration.  Spin those dreidels and collect all those chocolate coins! But as the days go by and you light your menorah, don't forget to "light up" the days of your loved ones with joy and laughter as this turbulent year comes to an end.    Happy Hanukkah!

Last month, we honored trailblazing dance crew ILL-Abilities with our Industry Leader Award at our Virtual Gala -- but our love & support for their great work doesn’t stop there! BEAT’s Operations Manager, Christina Cooke, recently sat down with the founder of ILL-Abilities, Luca “Lazylegs” Patuelli, to spotlight the vitality of Hip Hop for dancers with disabilities in a feature article for Blavity. Like Luca says, “Hip-hop can change the world” -- and we hope this article inspires you to join our movement in doing just that.   Click Here to read the full article, then send it to a friend & show ILL-Abilities some love!    Happy Birthday James! Purple graphic with a picture of James Kim on the left and brief text with animation wishing him a happy birthday on the right. Last week Monday was BEAT's founder and executive director James Kim's birthday. Please join us in wishing him MASSIVE blessings on completing another trip around the sun! James founded BEAT back in 2009 to put students with disabilities in the driver’s seat when it comes to arts education. BEAT Rockers highlights their abilities by teaching them how to make music themselves, instead of simply assuming they can’t do it and letting them observe from the sidelines. Eleven years later, BEAT has since expanded into four programs offered nationwide that supports all our youth in finding their voice and advocating for a better tomorrow through Hip Hop. Happy birthday, James, and we can’t wait to see where your vision leads us next!    Donate to the BEAT
