Thanks to a bass purchased through the Carlsbad Educational Foundation and Carlsbad High School, Ava has been able to overcome her obstacles and gain the confidence to pursue a career in music.

This film was produced for the Carlsbad Educational Foundation’s inaugural gala to benefit children. Screening to over 500 attendees, this film helped raised an additional $80,000 during the paddle raise, on top of ticket proceeds and auctions.
