Abstract
On May 19, 2002, Andrea Rizzo, an aspiring dance/movement therapist, was killed by a drunk driver. In the midst of their grief, colleagues, friends and family created The Andrea Rizzo Foundation, to assure that Andrea's dream of helping children with cancer and special needs through dance therapy would become a reality. Instituting dance therapy programs at both Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and in public schools throughout the Northeast, The Andrea Rizzo Dance Therapy Program continues to touch lives and broaden the spectrum of creative therapies recognized by doctors, nurses and educators alike. This article will highlight the programs that The Andre'a Rizzo Foundation has instituted and funded since its inception in September 2002, as well as the Foundation's recent developments and achievements.
