Young Songwriters Help Fire Victims
Songwriting kids in Mariposa are helping people impacted by the Detwiler fire. ‘What’s Waiting For Me?’ was written and recorded by children at a summer music program organized by the Mariposa County Arts Council and Mariposa County Parks and Recreation.

Download the song for $1 and we’ll donate all the profits to the Mariposa Community Foundation to help people impacted by the fire.
