MusiKids CT Inc., is a non-profit children's arts-in-education organization that was established in 2003 by Colin Sheehan. Colin leapt into national prominence when he was still just a boy, after numerous appearances on the Rosie O'Donnell show, during which his singing, dancing and exuberance won the hearts of her viewers. Even though still attending Branford High School, Colin put his fame to admirable use, by starting a charity organization designed to help other talented youth not as fortunate as himself.
