About A Free Bird
A Free Bird is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that provides Arts Education to children affected by cancer through creative programs and services, both in person and online. Our talented Art Educators help children to explore their creative side through a range of mediums, such as art, music, acting, writing, and singing.
