Kids Reaching Hearts Through Performing Arts was created by Rohan Virdee and Ambika Sharma. Rohan and Ambika started this charity as high school students trying to raise money for The Gilda's Club of Rochester. KRHTPA is an organization that gives local high school kids the opportunity to participate and to help organize a fundraising dinner along with a banquet for a selected charity from our Rochester community. Each year, the students choose a local childrens' charity to support. These students help plan the entire event, with the help with Ambika of course. After 7 successful years, KRHTPA has raised over $230,000 to benefit the various charities. Ambika (Right) and her younger sister Ashima (Left) help lead the program every year.

Since we were founded, we have continuously been supported by the India Community Center. They have generously given us a venue for numerous galas, and they take care of our finances each year as that is not something we can do as kids.
