LAS
VEGAS, July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Last
weekend, The Wilson Foundation for the Performing Arts &
Sciences raised awareness by supporting a local organization, The
Shade Tree, by donating 5,000 feminine products to women in need.
This donation starts a new partnership with The Shade Tree to evoke
change and align forces to bring hope to women and children in the
Western United States.
"Everyone who has ever had a period understands that awful
feeling when you realize you don't have products on
hand," says Linda Perez-
CEO of The Shade Tree. "Thanks to this incredibly generous
donation of five thousand feminine hygiene kits, our clients will
not have that stress or worry as they progress on their journey
with The Shade Tree."
The Shade Tree operates as a 24-hour accessible shelter offering
life-changing services to victims of domestic violence, sexual
abuse, human trafficking, elder abuse, and street violence. They
welcome women and unaccompanied youth of any gender who are facing
economic hardship and lacking adequate housing.
Given the Wilson Foundation's priority to strengthen and restore
women and their families across the country, Latrice Pace, Artist-in-Residence, inspired
Shade Tree staff through a musical performance. Pace
accomplished a huge milestone this past weekend by being nominated
for two Stellar Awards in Las
Vegas: Song of the Year and Contemporary
Female Artist of the Year for her chart-topping song
"It's Morning." Pace emphasizes that after a season
of mourning, there is a season of the morning aligning.
In her role, Pace supports the Wilson Foundation by developing
and executing initiatives that embed the arts into dynamic and
innovative projects that strengthen and promote recovery, health,
and well-being of individuals and communities.
"We believe that during stress, illness, trauma, and
loss, it is the power of the performing arts that can heal and
transform individuals and communities facing life
challenges," says The Wilson Foundation for the
Performing Arts & Sciences CEO and Founder, Dr. Youlanda Gibbons. "We are excited about
opportunities to partner with organizations that can benefit from
existing and emerging artistic talent in support of their mission
and desired outcomes."
The Wilson Foundation for the Performing Arts and Sciences will
proudly launch its National Campaign "Restoring Hope, Healing, and
Recovery for Women!" on August 28,
2024, to provide feminine protection products to
organizations throughout the country that offer shelter to women
and their families who are impacted by domestic violence,
homelessness, and human trafficking. The campaign will sponsor
musical and other forms of artistic performance as part of the
donation of feminine protection products.
The Wilson Foundation for the Performing Arts & Sciences
partners with local organizations that align with its vision and
priorities, as well as those of its Artist-in-Residence, fellows,
partners, and stakeholders. By collaborating with organizations
like The Shade Tree, the Wilson Foundation continues its efforts to
support and uplift the community, fostering a spirit of unity and
creating a positive impact.
