HATT Sponsor A Child Program

HATT 2024 Sponsor A Child Program gives at-risk children a chance to be part of HATT Symphony Orchestra. The project is focused on providing at-risk children an opportunity to learn musical instruments, be part of a grand and positive experience as part of HATT Symphony Orchestra, and have a better future.

Did you know?

  1. Nearly 86,000 (to be specific, 85,998) children are in impoverished conditions, according to the US Census Bureau.
  2. Census data shows one-in-five children in PBC lives in poverty
  3. Multiple factors including impoverished living conditions lead to outcomes that promote or idealize poor behaviors.
  4. Children living in poverty experience the daily impacts that come easily to mind — hunger, illness, insecurity, instability — but they also are more likely to experience low academic achievement, obesity, behavioral problems and social and emotional development difficulties (Malhomes, 2012). 
  5. Such early disparities can have a profound influence on children's long-term development, leading to higher rates of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, drug use, mental health disorders and dementia as adults.

HATT’s goal is to give at-risk children living in these circumstances hope, life, and eternity.
