Support CATA and Leave a Legacy of Kindness through a gift in your will CATA donors Heather Wells Heim and Matthew Heim on the value of giving back. From the moment Heather Wells Heim saw her first CATA performance, she was hooked. “It was immediate: I was a believer. The whole performance was riveting and artistically satisfying. And just profoundly hopeful.” After the show, she found a board member and told him she wanted to help. “Whatever CATA needed, I wanted to do it. I was completely in.” It’s CATA’s dedication to creative opportunity and artistic excellence that makes her proud to be a supporter. “CATA immerses people in the arts 6
who might not otherwise have the opportunity. You just don’t see this anywhere else— especially with this level of artistic integrity.” Knowing how meaningful that first performance was for her, Heather encourages people to dive in and see CATA’s work firsthand. “I don’t think people anticipate how transformed they’ll be. Every time I go to a CATA performance, art exhibit, or poetry reading, I grow spiritually— and emotionally. It’s powerful.”
“By giving, we’re making a statement that these are our values—kindness, inclusion, and the celebration of ability.”
