MUSIC FOR A CURE and MUSIC TO HEAL BRING MUSIC THERAPY TO CHILDREN IN HOSPITALS

MUSIC FOR A CURE brings musicians together with children who are in the hospital.  (This is a small, growing non profit that sends musicians and musical therapists out to hospitals.)

An excerpt:

Music For A Cure was founded on the belief that THERE IS LIFE IN MUSIC! .  Our mission is a simple one:  to unleash the healing power of music in order to uplift critically ill and mentally or emotionally-challenged children.   We accomplish our mission through the financial support of music therapy programs at children’s hospitals and shelters as well as through our partnership with the non-profit organization, Music to Heal.

Through the tremendous financial support of our donors and the unconditional support of some of the most recognized names in music who have opened not only their wallets, but their schedules and their hearts to interact directly with the children we service, Music For A Cure has profoundly impacted the lives of over 3,000 children and their families by funding music therapy programs at Children’s Hospital Orange County, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Miller’s Children’s Hospital Long Beach, and UCI Children’s Hospital, as well as various shelters around Southern California.

A Note:  The charity is mentioned on numerous fund raising sites.  We chose the one that seemed most informative.
