Description

Our upcoming music festival showcases the therapeutic value of music in the lives of young adults fighting cancer.  We will also have integrative practitioners available to speak with the attendees.  All proceeds will go towards our wellness grant program which helps fund therapies for young adults fighting cancer that insurances will not cover.  It will also cover our "battle bags" which are bags given out to hospitals, clinics, medical offices, etc for young adult patients.  These bags include fuzzy socks, puzzle books, pens, organic ginger candies (for nausea), green tea/ himalayan salt detox bath kits, nutritional information, essential oils with directions to apply (using therapeutic pressure points), a book "Radical Hope", lotion (helpful for skin issues due to radiation treatments), lip balms, music is medicine postcards that explain the science behind music therapy and how it can be helpful, and information on our foundation and the ways that we can, and want to help!  None of our board members or volunteers are paid positions.  All money raised goes right to our programming.

There will be 6 bands throughout the day and raffles, 50/50s and lots of information for young adults and their families as they fight the battle of their lives.
