The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
President Kennedy’s words resonate more strongly than ever for the John F. Kennedy Center for the
Performing Arts in the 21st century. The Center opened its doors on September 8, 1971.  As always,
the Center continues its efforts to fulfill President Kennedy's vision by producing and presenting an
unmatched variety of theater and musicals, dance and ballet, orchestral, chamber, jazz, popular, and
folk music, and multi-media performances for all ages. Every year the institution that bears President
Kennedy's name brings his dream to fruition, touching the lives of millions of people through
thousands of performances by the greatest artists from across America and around the world. The
Center also nurtures new works and young artists, serving the nation as a leader in arts education
and creating broadcasts, tours, and outreach programs.

The Heart Gallery of New Mexico - At any given moment, there are over 2,200 children in the custody
of the New Mexico Children, Youth & Families Department (CYFD) due to abuse or neglect. While
most children are returned to their birth families after certain court-established requirements are met,
hundreds of children will never return home, and CYFD strives to find loving adoptive families for
them.

The Heart Gallery of New Mexico was created by CYFD in 2001 as a way to raise awareness about
these "waiting children." Talented photographers donate compelling portraits of the children which
inspire people to adopt them. Thanks to national media coverage including Parade, People, ABC
News, 20/20, CBS Sunday Morning, The Today Show, NPR, CNN, and The NY Times, the Heart
Gallery of New Mexico has inspired over 40 other states to create similar projects. Six of these
groups alone have resulted in adoptive placements for nearly five hundred children.

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in
their time of need. The program recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform
and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided
by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs.  Because members of the military and their
families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care,
Fisher House™ Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA
medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most
stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury.
