For acclaimed artist Allen Maldonado, art is at the core of his success and mental health. By unlocking the healing power of art, he finds refuge within the strokes of a paintbrush, the vibrant color choices, and channeling his emotions onto the canvas by creating a visual representation of his inner world. He is now on a mission to pay it forward and help others to find love, peace, and therapy through art. We are excited to present the MALDONADO Art Foundation's running for mental health and empowerment fundraiser — an exclusive opportunity for community collaboration to make a lasting impact in our pursuit to support mental health and empower individuals through art. At the core of the MALDONADO Art Foundation lies a passionate commitment to promoting mental well-being. As a passionate advocate for our cause, Allen Maldonado has pledged to run the Berlin Marathon on September 24, 2024. KOC will have a running training program with a running regimen you can participate in and follow leading up to the marathon. Contributing to the runner's fundraising will directly support the MALDONADO Art Foundation. Through our community service program, we will provide free art workshops designed explicitly for inner-city youth and troubled teens. The workshops and safe space provided both an artistic outlet and a powerful therapeutic tool, allowing young minds to express themselves, heal, and discover their strengths. However, our dedication to mental health extends beyond the younger generation. We also recognize that adults face challenges in a world often overwhelmed with chaos and stress and deserve avenues for healing. That is why the foundation offers adult art workshops tailored to focus on the therapy components of painting, mental health, meditation, and mindfulness. At the MALDONADO Art Foundation, we hold firm in our belief that the purposeful practice of art creates a transformative space for self-reflection, healing, and personal growth. By participating in the MALDONADO Art Foundation's running for mental health and empowerment fundraiser, you will directly contribute to these vital programs. Proceeds will create a therapeutic space for individuals to participate in activities, workshops, field trips, and other enrichment programs. We present a unique opportunity for community members like you to actively engage in empowering those in need. By participating in this fundraiser, you embrace the energizing spirit of running and contribute to the healing power of art, and together make an extraordinary difference for deserving communities.
