THANK YOU REACH FAMILY!
A heartfelt thanks to all who joined our 'Mad About Alice' retirement party and '20 Years of REACH' gallery show! Your overwhelming support warmed our hearts and made the day truly memorable. It was wonderful to connect with friends new and old. The gallery show ‘20 Years of REACH’ will be up until April 10th, if you’d like to tour the show, give us a call to setup a time.
We are thrilled to announce that Rebekah (Bekah) Pumphrey will be joining the REACH team as our Program Director. Rebekah was born and raised in Lansing Michigan to a family where music, art, and movement were the backdrop to our childhood. For the past decade, she has had the pleasure of community building with non-profit and for-profit groups such as Lansing Family Fun, GRKids, All of the Above Hip Hop Academy, and Below the Stacks.
Having these experiences has made her deeply passionate about supporting programming that empowers youth in exploration, self-expression, confidence, and agency through art and community. In her spare time, she enjoys running, singing, going to concerts, and visiting museums.
THANK YOU MSU MEDICAL STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
We are so grateful to the two incredible groups of Michigan State University Medical Student Volunteers that stopped by REACH to help put a fresh coat of paint on our bathroom walls. We love having the MSU students, it's always a great experience.
