🎵 On the FIRST day of impact, the arts gave to me... passion ignited!

Recently, United Arts and @carolinaballet gifted tickets to cultural arts reps like Jenni Sonstroem.

"My daughter, who has danced since age 4, was so inspired. She said, ‘That’s what I want to do when I grow up.’ Those tickets were gold to us; core memories made.”
