Koats for Kids

We are dedicated to providing underserved children with winter coats and implementing musical rehab programs for at-risk juveniles. For 13 years, Koats for Kids (FKA Dr. Ko's Coats for Kids) has unified the community through coat collections and annual concerts featuring New Orleans cultural bearers. It's more than just about coats; it's about fostering togetherness, as emphasized by our late co-host, Mr. Ellis Marsalis. As a newly established non-profit organization, our mission includes an at-risk juvenile musical rehab program aiming to promote restorative character development and facilitate their successful transition into society. Through our artistry and dedication, we'll enhance our community's equity, diversity, beauty, and safety!
