Meet Isabella

Isabella, "Bella", is excited to be a part of the DK Movement Cares family singing the National Anthem ahead of the race. She has been singing and performing since she could talk! Bella has performed in many theater productions for CT Performing Arts Center and has also performed in A Christmas Carol, A Ghost Story of Christmas at Hartford Stage. She began performing the National Anthem at several USL Hartford Athletic soccer games in 2024 and will be performing again in 2025. In addition, you can catch Bella performing the National Anthem for the WNBA's CT Sun this summer. Bella will be entering middle school in the fall.
