I would like to thank you for the opportunity you have given me. I can't begin to show my gratitude. I trust you know how you have changed my life. Not only by supporting my show and the computer but, by the hope that you have given me in pursuing my dreams of becoming a respected Latina artist. I know that there is still a long road ahead but, you have opened a door for me and I have one foot in thanks to you....

I am writing this letter to express my deepest appreciation to you and the Dan Hartman Foundation for awarding me this $5,000 music scholarship. It is so helpful to me not only tuition-wise, but in the idea that someone realizes the gift that God has given me and is willing to help me develop that gift...

On behalf of my family and myself I would just like to say thank you very much. My parents and I are very grateful for all the wonderful things I have received. The day I returned from my second home, Idyllwild Arts Academy; I realized what the box on my bed was. A beautiful new Powerbook G4 with a printer. I was amazed. It was a feeling that I had when I was a little boy and got my first new toy car. I was excited for my future and myself when I realized what I could do with this computer.the computer is going to help me with everything from school to my professional life in music. Today I also received something that I thought was one of the best things I will probably receive in my life as well. It was amazing to have opened the doors to a man holding a brand new Yamaha piano, and a wonderful computer program for my brand new computer.The first thing I did when I opened the boxes was to start practicing on it. It was a wonderful feeling that I am so grateful for. I would just like to say thanks again for all the wonderful things you did for myself, and all those other kids that need and deserve all the things that you have given me.

I am so grateful for the Dan Hartman Foundation's generosity in donating $6,230.00 for dance scholarships for our girls. You have given our talented kids the chance to truly shine......Allowing the children to explore their creativity in a safe and nurturing environment is essential to their positive response to the arts and provides a positive outlet for creativity, energy, and emotional expression. Your generosity is helping to change and enrich the quality of the lives of our children. Once again, thank you so much. Your support means a lot to us.
