Not “Just” an Artist, Danny Gokey is the Founder of Sophia’s Heart

You may know Danny Gokey as that big voiced singer with an equally big heart, but do you know about his foundation, Sophia’s Heart?

“One Heart…Touching Many,”

This four word phrase conveys the vision and passion of Sophia’s Heart President and Founder, Danny Gokey.  Through its unique transitional housing program, Sophia’s Heart is finding success to break the cycle of homelessness and keeping families together in Nashville.

In Danny’s hometown of Milwaukee, he has created a culturally relevant Music and Arts program that is both educational and a supportive service to under-served youth. The program is performed and led by Sophia’s Heart’s students.  It creates opportunities for the following key outcomes: Leadership, improved self-esteem, team building, cultural diversity, educational focus, and as a positive alternative to gangs, drugs &  violence.

Together with Danny, we can make a difference in the young people’s lives by participating in the upcoming fundraising events!
