The Melanie and Rosalie Albright Foundation exists to honor the memories of two sisters, Melanie and Rosalie, who found joy in life through participating in the arts while battling Cystic Fibrosis. We believe the arts community is a safe, welcoming place for youth to be supported and accepted for who they are. By providing scholarships and art-based opportunities to youth ages six to twenty-one, we can help those wishing to participate in any aspect of the arts find acceptance and a place of belonging. Melanie enjoyed riding on the back of her dad's motorcycle, and a yearly charity ride was one of the many ways Melanie's family raised funds for Melanie's medical expenses. We have chosen to continue this charity ride in honor of Melanie.
