What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Livestream Performances

We partner with artists to stream their regularly scheduled performances LIVE directly to patients in hospitals and home-care rooms around the world. During each livestream show, we give the names of the patients tuning in to the artists on-stage who send special shout-outs and song dedications, during their live performance, to each patient by name, making them feel not alone and like the true rockSTARS they are and encouraging the whole crowd to cheer along with them to support the patient and their families.

The patients are the rockSTARS, we are their #1 Fans.

Population(s) Served

We offer ongoing, personalized, therapeutic and interactive 1:1 Music Therapy sessions (virtual and in-person).

Population(s) Served

We offer weekly private group sessions designed to offer consistent support by allowing patients to participate in therapeutic music and art sessions while connecting and interacting virtually with other rockSTAR Patients.

Population(s) Served

Every patient who signs up receives a personalized song and message of encouragement from one of our team of Rockologists (Artist Partners), welcoming them to our MCP Family and free support programs. Patients are able to submit song requests as desired as a part of our continued care.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

(1) Utilize modern technology to bridge the gap between the medically proven healing properties of music, human connection and patients in need. (2) To create a sustainable network benefitting all involved; patients, musicians, artists, hospitals and donors. (3) To support not only the patient but their entire family and network (4) To inspire compassion and goodness in the world.

We create mutually beneficial experiences which positively impact all parties involved including the children and families we serve, over 300 hospitals worldwide and a growing global community as well as the artists and celebrities we partner with.

We have refined and honed our program’s platform, capabilities, CRM Systems, content, reach and visibility which now successfully engages hundreds of thousands of individuals each year.

Over the past 13 years, we have impacted over 36,000 kids and families across the US and around the world, partnered with over 400 artists and with supporting over 400 hospitals and caregivers around the world to provide hope and encouragement to the kids and families in their care.
