UW-River Falls student Sara Fuller first traveled to Selma, Ala., for an alternative spring break, not realizing how significantly it would affect her or that she’d be heading up an effort to send them musical instruments.
She returned to help a few more times and has stayed “close” with people from The Freedom Foundation and one of its programs, the Random Acts of Theater Company -- or RATCo.
The nonprofit volunteer-driven organization defines its mission as cultivating the next generation through programs that “inspire and equip them to reach their full potential.”
Fuller enthusiastically describes the RATCo productions -- plays and musicals and other shows -- for which kids do the work and adult volunteers from all over the country support them.
Fuller said the efforts expose kids to the disciplines that many of them won’t experience due to school budget cuts eliminating music, theater, and other arts. Fuller works mostly with middle- and high-school age students, but the program supports kids in grades kindergarten through 12.
