Gifted history

My name is Kathy D Horry, President and Founder. GIFTED fosters youth with the

essential belief that they are God’s Intelligent Fortified Talented and EducatedDreamers. With GIFTED, it's all about the next generation!

Our mission is to foster positive connections for all youth with an emphasis on the

underserved through our 3 pillars of Performing Arts, Education and Sports.

GIFTED instill life-changing self-awareness and deposits knowledge and skills to

build self-esteem and increase purposeful productivity in youth ages 5-21.

My MANDATE is to oversee an organization that reaches back to the upcoming

generations, encouraging them to succeed in life. It is extremely rewarding to share

relevant skills through Performing Arts, Education and Sports, while providing

opportunities to optimize performance for participating youth.

GIFTED began brewing in my heart in “2005.” The vision became clear for me to

initiate a platform whereby Performing Arts, Education and Sports would meet to

save our youth of tomorrow.

GIFTED has been in operation since 2009, serving over two hundred youth from St.

Charles to St. Louis, Mo and their surrounding communities.

I welcome the road ahead to lead this awesome program which promises to make a

difference in the lives of our youth, our homes and communities.

Best Regards,

Kathy
