A father’s love inspires

The A.N.D.Y. Foundation was created by sisters, Maddie and Ellie Hardesty. This idea was born from their father’s love of teaching them how to express themselves creatively. Their father (and our foundation's namesake), Andy, instilled in them a sense of connection through music, art, and story. He spread joy by sharing his creativity with those around him.
