Story Living by Disney is committed to
0:06
investing in communities where we live,
0:08
work, and play. And Disney as a whole is
0:10
all about inspiring the next generation
0:13
of innovators. And we do that through
0:15
investing in happiness and well-being
0:17
and various youth education programs in
0:22
So, the Children's Discovery Museum of
0:24
the Desert is a great place for kids and
0:26
families to come to learn about
0:28
themselves and the world around them
0:30
through hands-on exploration and
0:33
This museum has so much history. Even
0:35
everyone on the board have some
0:37
connection, whether it's through their
0:39
own children or it being a part of the
0:42
community. And you know, it really
0:43
resonated with me when I first toured
0:46
the museum. At Catino, we are a
0:48
community that is built on creativity
0:51
and storytelling. And everything that we
0:53
do at Walt Disney Imagineering starts
0:56
with a story. And so our hands-on
0:58
activity today was asking the students
1:00
to dream up and design their own
1:03
community. And I have to say they are
1:05
going all out. We have some incredible
1:07
amenities happening behind me. I am just
1:10
blown away by the level of creativity
1:12
and innovation from these students.
1:15
So basically in the front we're making
1:16
it look like it's a it's a front yard
1:19
with flowers and stuff, but in the back
1:22
it's actually a secret. So it's grass
1:26
and then it's going to be a jacuzzi and
1:32
Story living by Disney and Cino in
1:34
particular right here in Rancho Mirage.
1:36
It's more than about building homes.
1:38
It's more than about building community
1:40
just for our residents. It's about
1:41
partnering and collaborating with local
1:43
charitable organizations like the
1:45
Children's Museum. The funding from
1:48
Disney, the partnership with Cotino, the
1:51
fact that their cast members are going
1:53
to come here to volunteer, it's such a
1:55
great partnership because it shows
1:57
Disney's commitment to our community
1:58
here, which we have that same commitment
2:01
to our future leaders um creating
2:04
different career pathways through steam
2:06
learning. It is an absolute privilege to
2:09
be here with the students today in such
2:11
a meaningful and personal way. I hope
2:14
that we have been able to inspire them
2:17
to continue to dream big. I know the
2:20
magic of Disney. I know the memories
2:22
that Disney makes in my family, myself
2:25
as a little girl, as a mom, and to have
2:28
the opportunity to partner in this
2:30
community and make that impact as a
2:33
museum and the Cotino community. I mean,
2:36
it's just a win-win for everybody.
2:38
What I learned today is
2:41
you can be whatever you want to be when
2:44
if you just just believe.
2:48
Whenever I can be connected with
2:49
something like this, such as what we're
2:51
doing today with the Boys and Girls Club
2:53
in the Children's Discovery Museum of
2:55
the Desert, it really means a lot to me.
3:00
I just smile and feel I feel I feel
3:02
proud to be a part of.
