Rodman for Kids

10/21/2026

Sometimes, all it takes is one experience to see what's possible. 💚✨

For more than 1,300 kids who attended WICKED through our Theatre for Kids program, the magic extended far beyond the stage.

From students connecting with theatre professionals to seeing themselves reflected in the performers, the evening sparked inspiration, opened doors to new possibilities, and created memories that will last long after the final curtain.

And that's just one of the stories we heard.

💗 In our latest story, hear directly from the schools, organizations, and families who attended WICKED and discover how one night at the theatre can change lives "For Good."

2027, here we come! 🌟

Today, we brought together our Active Charity Partners for our 2027 Charity Partner Program Kickoff Meeting!

We spent the morning reviewing the program and what's ahead, walking through one of the platforms our partners will use throughout the year, and breaking into smaller cohorts to connect, share experiences, and get to know one another.

Our Charity Partner Program is about so much more than fundraising. It's about building relationships, sharing resources, strengthening organizations, and creating a network of nonprofit leaders who can learn from and support one another.

We're excited for another year of collaboration, connection, and working together to create brighter futures for the kids our partners serve! 💙💚

🎙️ NEW EPISODE NOW LIVE! 🎙️

Through powerful stories of young people discovering their potential, we explore how creating opportunity ensures young people have the access, support, and sense of belonging they need to begin shaping futures of their own.

Creating meaningful opportunities for young people goes beyond simply providing access. It's about ensuring they have the support, relationships, confidence, and sense of belonging they need to walk through those doors and see what's possible for themselves.

What if one of the most exciting parts of your career is something you haven’t discovered yet? 🌱

Four years ago, Andrea Tchesnovsky from One Bead didn’t know what grant writing was, or that a career in nonprofit development was even a possibility. Today, some of the opportunities she once didn’t know existed have become the parts of her work she enjoys most.

That’s one reason our Charity Partner Program is about investing in the people behind nonprofits, as well as strengthening the organizations themselves. It’s about creating opportunities to connect, learn, build new skills, and discover what might be possible next.

🎙️ In the newest episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, Andrea shares her experience growing as a nonprofit professional and why investing in rising leaders ultimately helps build stronger organizations and greater impact for the kids they serve.
