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. They are encouraged to find an art form that appeals to them, then receive tuition, materials, and guidance. Creativity gives children the inspiration to fight their disease, provides a vital outlet for self-expression, and brings profound physical and mental health benefits.
