Hi, I’m Kristy Beauvais, Executive Director and Flounder of FOCUSfish.
Growing up with a bodybuilding Dad and a dance teaching Mom, followed by a career in professional dance and personal training, comes FOCUSfish… where ART meets Physical Education.
Currently we are reaching over 5000 youth, adults and children with special needs in communities throughout greater Los Angeles. We empower these communities with FLIGHT by bringing aerial arts education grounded in sound physical education principles; and lift their spirits with family circus entertainment, featuring people of all ages and abilities.
In our 5th year, we are on a mission to raise $50,000 to cover the expansion of our programming and equip these programs with new trapezes and climbing silks… the equipment FOCUSfish uses to inspire, strengthen and GIVE HOPE to thousands of people dealing with such issues as: Autism, Obesity, Diabetes, and Sedentary Lifestyles.
Join the MOVEMENT! Become an AngelFish!
Don’t let schools obliterate PE for young children. Don’t stand for communities of obese people not able to care for their own families. And marvel at a child with special needs as she soars through the air, like a STAR.
Hang with FOCUSfish, become a donor today, and be a part of the solution.
Thank you. ~ Kristy
