With their first and second place wins, the FAFU and Center of Hope ensembles will advance to the national competition in northern Kenya at the beginning of August. With six previous national titles since 2016, the journey to nationals has become a tradition for SCS/CT, thanks to the support of our community. More smiles like these are sure to be in store!
