2008 Holiday Music Extravaganza!

The Foundation for Music and Healing, Inc.’s annual Book Fair Fund Raiser will be held at Barnes and Noble Booksellers in Mishawaka Saturday December 6, 2008. Store hours are from 9 a m. to 11 p.m.

Last year’s event raised enough funds for scholarships, equipment and supplies to assist with this project. Vouchers are being distributed to Foundation students and their families which, when used on Saturday, Dec. 6 at Barnes and Noble Booksellers in Mishawaka, result in a donation made directly to the Foundation for Music and Healing, Inc. Supporters may also request an electronic voucher at the cash registers.

We are deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness of those who made their seasonal purchases to coincide with our annual festival. Last year Barnes and Noble donated a healthy percent of purchases made to the Foundation during our music fund-raiser. Our goal this year is to again qualify to receive the top award of purchases made on Saturday, Dec. 6.
There is another way to help: tax-deductible donations go directly to the Foundation’s year-end appeal. With your gift, every dollar will go to help students in need. An official letter will be sent to donors acknowledging their contribution.

Foundation Book Coming Soon!

We ventured forth to help

Since 2001, scores of students who have special needs have been assisted with innovative music and movement activities.

Now we offer to share

A new book designed to encourage parents to get the same experiences for their loved ones is being published soon. It tells the story of the creation of this humanitarian organization, which employs a unique blend of techniques from music, dance, rhythm, drumming, psychology, sociology and physical therapy.

Instructors bring the benefits of music to those who never thought it possible in studios throughout northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan.

Making Our Own Kind of Music

Written for parents, caregivers and professionals, this valuable resource is designed to help people in communities across the nation develop similar programs to get help in music and movement for their children of all ages who have special needs.

288 pages softcover, also available in DVD format - See our news release.

Pre-publication orders now being accepted
