A Word
From Our Founder
“Los Angeles is the breeding ground of hopes and dreams, but the reality is that most people will never achieve their dreams in the arts without some help. We don’t promote fame and fortune, but rather the achievement of reaching the ultimate expression of gifts.
It has long been a vision of Paul D. Hannah to give talented children a way to show their talent to the world; to give them hope in hopeless situations and teach them how to rise up by using their God given gifts to impact the world in a positive way.
And if fame and fortune comes in tow, these children will have a foundation of character and integrity to help guide their paths.“
– Paul D. Hannah
