About Music & Miracles
Music & Miracles Mission Statement
Music and Miracles was incorporated in 2008 as a 501c3 non-profit corporation. Our mission is to raise funds to be donated to individuals who are in financial need due to their battle with cancer. As many of us know, cancer can strike in many forms and can require numerous follow-up surgeries and rehabilitation even for those who have survived their initial cancer treatments. This leaves many people with loss of income, increased household costs and, in some cases, the inability to be mobile enough to perform the everyday duties of life. These people are living in our own communities and hometowns and we want to help them as best we can.
Our method of raising funds is to stage an annual music festival, the net proceeds of which we are able to donate to needy recipients in the form of money, goods or services. Last year at our inaugural event, we were able to raise $15,000 to benefit a single mother who is a breast cancer survivor and was facing reconstructive surgery to remove an infection that occurred during her initial surgeries and who also owns her own business. We plan on building on this success every year, but we need your help.
Thank you all for contributing to Music & Miracles and helping us to reach out to those who are suffering the debilitating and financial cost effects of cancer.
Sincerely,
Dale M. Kaye
Executive Director
2008 Inaugural Event
