“When I dance, I feel like I can do anything. I feel confident and I feel like anything is possible.”

~ Stephanie, Franklin School Santa Barbara

"Through my work with EDN!, I have encountered, truly for the first time, the staggering power of philanthropy. I have experienced the influence that a charitable cause — one that you thoroughly believe in — can have not only in the lives of the recipients but also in the lives of the volunteers. I have gained communication and leadership skills, as well as the ability to take initiative, and I have become more responsible and confident in what I am capable of. Specifically, I have learned how to express myself to an adult assertively while still maintaining a certain level of respect. Most importantly, I have finally grasped the concept that one person can really make a difference!"

~ EDN! Santa Barbara Director, Olivia Berci (2010)
