Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts Awards Hillsides a Music Program Grant
LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2019 - Hillsides, a Southern California foster care and mental health charity, has received a $1,200 grant from the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts. The grant will fund Hillsides' music education program, which provides music classes and enrichment activities to the students of the Hillsides Education Center, a therapeutic nonpublic school for children with social-emotional, learning, and/or behavioral challenges.
"We are very grateful for the continued support of the Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, which has consistently helped fund our music program," said Hillsides President and CEO Joseph M. Costa. "Music is a key component in our students' education and healing."

Proceeds from the Showcase House benefit the organization's youth music programs and gifts and grants program.
This year's Showcase House will be held at the Boddy House on the grounds of Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge from April 21 - May 19. The Hollywood Regency style, 12,000-square-foot mansion was designed by James E. Dolena and will be reimagined by 26 designers. Tickets range from $35 - $50, and include free parking and shuttle service.
