When did the power of music last improve your life?
As you recall how melody, rhythm, or lyrics have transformed a recent day, I ask you to make a Christmas donation so that music can continue to bring Resounding Joy to the lives of others:
|
1 |
Our Sound Minds program helps bond teen parents and their infants and provides inexperienced moms and dads with musical methods to help babies develop vital language, motor, and social skills. |
2
|
Our Healing Notes program at Rady Children’s Hospital provides children a rare opportunity to relax in an environment soothed by music. |
|
3 |
Our Victims of Violence program offers safe, unobtrusive music as a therapeutic medium to people recovering from domestic violence or torture. |
|
4 |
Our Junior Joy Giver program pairs young people with seniors to create a musical bridge of mutual appreciation that might not be possible otherwise. |
|
5 |
Our music-making events provide members of the military relief from post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury, and, at the same time, gives their families much-needed respite from the stress of continual care. |
|

|
Our music therapy helps seniors unable to speak due to debilitating memory loss to suddenly find their voices and overcome crippling silence by singing entire songs remembered from youth. |
Moving, isn't it?
Today, more than ever, our friends and neighbors throughout San Diego County need Resounding Joy. But we can't continue our life-enhancing work without your help. Please take a moment now . . . in this season of giving . . . to make a tax-deductible donation.
