I'm so proud to receive this award on behalf of Creative Healing Connections, and lucky to combine music, community service, and scholarship through my work. I will be donating $1,000 of the prize funds to benefit CHC and the balance will support the recording of songs written for and at the retreats. A sincere thank you to the staff and students of the college for all of their support and to everyone at CHC who work to make the retreats so special.
