You never know where a phone call will lead. This one led to an incredible run of shows themed, "There's Value in a Smile." In a short 10-week period of time we performed 50 shows for 10,000 incredible people.
We crossed a bridge to a world where we witnessed many children, youth and adults in need. And equally witnessed, firsthand, organizations, non-profits, dedicated employees and volunteers tirelessly working to fill those needs with kindness, compassion and determination.
“Tell you what. I want you to perform twenty-five shows. I want you to go to South Dallas, West Dallas where schools may not have the budgets for a magic show. And I want you to go to the soup kitchens, the homeless shelters too and bring a smile to their faces. And when you've finished those shows, I want you to perform another twenty-five..." ~ Ray N.
It was the spark to our later forming "There's Value in a Smile" FSP, Fiscally Sponsored Program through United Charitable, 501 (c3). These shows continue to be made possible through many generous individual and corporate donors.
Magic with a Mission... Spreading Joy, Hope and Laughter!
"Bring a smile" was our directive for the series of 50 magic shows two benefactors requested to be performed in West Dallas, South Dallas and in Downtown. A quick call to the Deaf Action Center (@deafactiontx and @DACTX on Facebook) and the details for this show were arranged. We arrived at their facility and performed for a fun and lively audience. The result - lots of smiles, theirs and ours!
