Combining charity fundrasising with the current Olympics frenzy sounds like a stroke of genius to me ! Read on and see how you can get your kids involved.
***************************************
Monkey
Music –
the UK’s premium music group for pre-school children –
has recorded a special charity song to celebrate an amazing
summer of sport. Performed by young children, aged 7, 8 and 9, and
written especially for Monkey Music, the Anthem, 'The Day is Here!',
tells the exciting story of a running race.
‘The
Day is Here’ will not only provide a fun sporting interlude during
Monkey Music classes across the UK but also, by selling it online to
the families and friends of Monkey Music’s 10,000 children, Monkey
Music also aims to raise much needed funds for music therapy
charity, Nordoff Robbins.
Nordoff
Robbins is a national specialist music charity, delivering 50,000
music therapy sessions a year to a broad range of people in schools,
hospitals and care homes across the UK. Their qualified music
therapists specifically help people with a range of challenges
including autism, dementia, mental health problems, stroke, brain
injury, learning difficulties, depression and in some cases clients
have threatening or terminal illness, such as cancer.
Angie
Coates, Founder of Monkey Music, said;
“Both
Monkey Music and Nordoff Robbins offer children fresh opportunities
and life changing experiences through music. We believe that by
working together we can raise awareness of the benefits of music for
everyone. It’s lovely to use 2012 and the summer of sport to engage
the very youngest of children in the excitement of sport and the joy
of music.”
Jo
Carter,
Director of Fundraising & Communications Nordoff Robbins said:
“We
are delighted to be working with Monkey Music, to be sharing our
mutual believe in the power of music and to help raise funds to
continue transforming the lives of vulnerable children and adults
across the UK. As a charity we rely entirely on voluntary donations,
so the Monkey Music song released this summer is a great way to
raise funds and awareness.”
What’s
next?
Monkey
Music classes will learn ‘The Day is Here’ during their Monkey
Music classes over the coming weeks. Then, from the end of May the
‘The Day is Here’ will be officially released and available to
buy online with all profits going to charity.
