Project Title: JoyRx Music – Austin, TX
Project Description:

At JoyRx, we understand that treating cancer and serious illness requires more than just medicine. When a child faces life’s most challenging moments, emotional support is essential. JoyRx delivers programs that enhance emotional wellness for children as they navigate the effects of illness.

Through collaboration with local pediatric hospitals and clinics, we have integrated our JoyRx Music program into the treatment experiences of seriously ill youth. This program provides personalized music experiences for pediatric patients, including bedside interactions, music lessons, live concerts, and access to mobile music carts.

We are seeking funding from the Hermanowski Foundation to expand JoyRx Music Live, our transformative program designed to bring joy and emotional support to hospitalized children. With this support, we aim to extend JoyRx Music Live services to reach more patients at our partner hospitals in Austin and increase our capacity to serve more children and families during their most challenging times.
