Matt D’Arrigo, founder of Point Loma-based A Reason To Survive, or ARTS, is featured in the new book “Being the Difference: True Stories of Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things to Change the World.”
D’Arrigo is featured as he dealt with his grief when his mother and sister were diagnosed with cancer in the same year. Ultimately, the love of music and painting helped D’Arrigo heal after his mother succumbed to the disease. He now runs the 7,000-square-foot Pat D’Arrigo ARTS Center [at Liberty Station], named in memory of his mother, where more than 150 children a week go to express themselves and learn in a safe and nurturing environment.
