The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach is selling handcrafted wind chimes made by local high school student Claire Fodor, and all proceeds will support the nonprofit's Sound Connections music therapy program for children with special needs.

"We are very fortunate to have young students like Claire who care for our community," said Donna Guzzo, CCPVB's executive director. "This is a good example of getting involved to help children with special needs. We are making a call to action to all Ponte Vedra residents to join us in supporting music therapy by purchasing one of these beautiful wind chimes."

Sound Connections is an outreach program conducted by the Cultural Center that brings board certified music therapists to local area schools, including Cunningham Creek Elementary School, PVPV-Rawlings Elementary School, Ocean Palms Elementary School and Valley Ridge Academy. These therapists have over 600 contacts a week with children with special needs.
