This significant initiative provides insight and direction for forming better, more focused programs going forward. Other outreach projects include a program to collect instruments to donate to students who need them, grants for local programs that wish to make use of resources provided by the Santa Barbara Bowl, and scholarships to college students pursuing the performing arts. Moreover, the foundation supports a children’s program within Cottage Hospital and a collection of in-school and after-school programs, particularly in neighborhoods feeling the concert season at the Santa Barbara Bowl, notes Kenny Slaught. The Notes for Notes program is meant to connect students with free instruments and lessons. A community volunteer committee is in charge of these educational outreach projects.

Kenny Slaught supports Hospice of Santa Barbara efforts to provide wide range of services, not only for those facing terminal and chronic illness, but also for their families. Many of the organization’s initiatives focus on the needs of children as they process the impending or recent passing of a family member. Around 20 percent of children suffer the death of a loved one prior to turning 18, and one in 20 children sees the loss of one or both parents before they reach adulthood. Hospice of Santa Barbara seeks to provide those in these scenarios with free mentorship through numerous programs. This support helps children cope with their grief to avoid or alleviate depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
