Shuqing Ma has been a cornerstone of our Make Your M.A.R.C.® program for over three years. On day one, Shu asks, “What kind of music do you listen to?” By connecting the musicians our students already love to their inspirations, she encourages them to create something beautiful of their own.
Shu’s love for music reminds our entire team of its transcendent power to connect us with ourselves and others. We are so grateful for the grounded care and creativity Shu has brought to Hope Creates and Make Your M.A.R.C.® since cohort #2!

It’s hard to put into words what Kathie Thomas has built.

As our founder and inaugural Executive Director, her vision set everything in motion—and even in retirement, she continues to guide us from afar.

As we take on new milestones, including our first 48-hour matching campaign, we do so standing on the foundation she created.

Grateful for her leadership. Honored to carry it forward. 💚

For the next 48 hours, your donation (no matter the size) will count FOUR TIMES, thanks to matching donors. Click here to donate: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/shareart2026/
