The Friends of Music Therapy Endowment Fund was established at SickKids Foundation to provide permanent support to the Music Therapy Program at The Hospital for Sick Children. This stable funding source will ensure this delivery of care to the palliative and cancer programs at SickKids, and enable the expansion of music therapy services to other areas such as organ transplantation, neonatal intensive care, adolescent medicine and more. It will also fund the purchase of needed musical instruments and equipment as well as support its internship program, one of the few in Canada that provides specialized paediatric training to a new generation of music therapists. Interns will also assist in the development of qualitative research that will help to promote internationally the inherent value of music therapy in patient care.

By being a friend of music therapy, your gift will provide this important therapy to thousands of children and their families.
