FORT WALTON BEACH — Children in Crisis' Children’s Art Education program has an extra $800 in support.

“The OAA donation allows CIC to provide a very important element of education sometimes not considered a priority," Ken Hair, CIC president and CEO, said. "It’s amazing to watch our at-risk children grow and develop their art talents. This wouldn’t have been possible without the great support from the Okaloosa Arts Alliance."

CIC gives a home to about 100 at-risk children each year. Call 864-4242 or see www.childrenincrisisfl.org to learn more about the nonprofit.
