More room to say yes to the arts.
Every family makes careful choices about what it can afford. This program helps make performing arts classes possible for children whose families need financial support.
Students join an encouraging community of teachers and mentors, with room to build skills, confidence, friendships, and faith. The program’s purpose is to make excellent arts education more accessible without asking families to set aside the needs of the rest of the household.
Honoring Anne and Rick Whiting
The scholarship program bears the names of two people whose care for young people shaped Reverent Rhythms founder Cameron Cunningham. After Anne and Rick passed away in 2025, Cameron named the program in their memory.
Anne Whiting
Anne made time to listen to young people and offer acceptance and thoughtful advice. She served others through her work and volunteer roles, including much of her career with the Ashland County Wellness and Recovery Program.
Rick Whiting
Rick taught at Ashland High School for 29 years and retired in 2021. He gave students time beyond the classroom, opening the gym and organizing games so they had a place to connect and grow.
Anne and Rick’s example helped shape Cameron’s vision for community programs: show up for young people, make space for them, and help them discover what they can do.
What this program makes possible
Each season, the Anne and Rick Whiting Scholarship Program opens a door for children who might otherwise miss out on the performing arts. In class, they can discover new abilities, find encouraging mentors, and grow as part of a community that cares about them.
