September was an exciting month for Musicians On Call! In our 10th year as an organization, we officially launched our second national chapter of MOC! The Miami/South Florida area can now claim Musicians On Call as a part of their community.

Our Bedside Performance Programs are underway at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, FL and will begin soon at South Miami Hospital, which is part of the Baptist Health South Florida System.

We are looking for volunteer guides and musicians who live in the area - you can apply here or contact our Miami/South Florida Program Director Michelle Klinger at michelle@musiciansoncall.org.

We’re so excited to be bringing the healing power of music to more and more cities through our Bedside Performance Program!

October is also shaping up to be a great month. We are honored to have been chosen as the October charity for The 12for12k Challenge! The 12for12k Challenge is the combination of social media awareness and fund-raising that aims to change the lives of millions worldwide. Founded by business consultant Danny Brown, its aim is to raise awareness and funds for 12 charities over the course of 2009, with a new charity being supported every month.

Will you take on the challenge?! Just $10 to support Musicians On Call, and to support the spread of acts of charity and kindness. HERE to read more about the challenge and to make your donation. If we can reach our goal of $12,000, we will have raised enough to fund another full year of Bedside Performance Programs at a healthcare facility!

We hope everyone’s having a great start to the Fall season! We’ll be back soon with more news and more ways to get involved!

Until Soon,
Civia Caroline
Manager of New Media & Creative Marketing
