Coach Art Celebrates a Decade of Helping Chronically Ill Youth Through Art and Athletics

 CoachArt began as a small pilot program at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles a decade ago has now evolved into a thriving, independent organization that facilitates arts and athletic opportunities for thousands of chronically ill youth throughout Los Angeles.

Co-founders Zander Lurie and Leah Bernthal brought in Dr. Thyonne Gordon as executive director in 2009 and through their combined efforts have poised the non-profit organization for great expansion in its next decade.

“This is an exciting time to lead CoachArt’s new initiatives. We consistently seek ways to position the organization for growth and expansion by creating communities of care,†said Gordon whose expertise was gained in part through working with youth at organizations like A Place Called Home, The Coalition for At-Risk Youth, Reach Back LA and the HollyRod Foundation.

Co-Founders Zander Lurie and Leah Bernthal started CoachArt with a simple goal to provide chronically ill children with arts and athletics lessons; 10 years later, the organization has helped thousands of youth enjoy positive mentoring relationships that provide much needed relief from their daily health struggles.
