Upscale Singers Information

The Upscale Singers have supported the Arizona Magic of Music and Dance camp since its inaugural year, sponsoring camper PeterYanovitch in 2007. Peter had such a wonderful experience that the Upscale Singers doubled their commitment in 2008, sponsoring Peter along with Grace Linamen. Peter and Grace later performed with the Upscale Singers in the South Pacific medley last spring, singing the song of the children "Dites Moi." Because of the success of our fundraising, in 2009 we made a donation and sponsored FOUR campers: Peter, Grace, Isaac Gomez and Daniel O'Keefe, in last summer's remarkable production of "Annie." As one grateful parent noted, "Arizona Magic provides a place that allows children with special needs to have their OWN DAY in a setting that's not compromised because of their needs all while their peer buddies encourage them to their fullest potential. As the campers discover new abilities, the peer buddies also learn about themselves and life."
