ASSOCIATED CHARITY

A portion of the proceeds are going to the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund, a bold non-profit initiative, designed to integrate, educate, celebrate and promote all facets of music therapy in Canada. Music Therapy is a method of treatment, which uses music to help people cope more effectively with their lives and their challenges. Music therapists can encourage non-speaking children to communicate, youngsters who are emotionally upset to trust and people in hospices to find some respite from their loneliness and pain. Elderly men and women eagerly respond to music in their lives.

"Music can heal. It can do more than that. It can throw a lifeline to kids who can't be reached in any other way" Paul McCartney.
