You were able to get participation from a group of hospitalized children who had never met before…It was a wonderful creative experience that the patients, families and staff clearly enjoyed.

MATTIE'S MOVIE & POETRY SLAM
Inspired by the late 13-year-old best-selling poet and peacemaker Mattie J.T. Stepanek, Mattie's Movie & Poetry Slam was developed to bring a little movie magic, interactive poetry fun packaged with real life discussions of tolerance and diversity issues using themes from the film to children with chronic illness in hospitals nationwide.
