We have recorded our first full length album and we're looking for your help to put it into the hands of patients, their loved ones, and hospital staff.
This studio recording features the work of 15 of our talented musicians who hope to offer lasting enjoyment and sanctuary to patients by giving this CD away as a gift. We also hope to raise awareness of our program through radio play and other promotional efforts.
With the gracious donation of our musician’s time and energy, funding from Long & McQuade Musical Instruments and the Winnipeg Foundation’s 'Youth In Philanthropy' program, we have mixed, mastered and recorded the album. The next step is to pay for photography, artwork design, and CD manufacturing.
As we are a charitable, not-for-profit organization, we're asking for your contribution to help complete his project. Regardless of what you might be able to afford or contribute, we thank you very much for your consideration of this important and meaningful cause.
Please consider sharing this musical gift by pre-ordering now:
Digital download of the album - $10

And, it gets better...

In addition, you will receive two artist-signed CDs and your organization will receive thanks and recognition in the liner notes, at our CD release party/fundraiser and specific mention as a sponsor for the project in all related press releases.

Artists in Healthcare Manitoba has been bringing live music programs to patients in Winnipeg and rural Manitoba hospitals, long term care and Cancercare since 2001. Our musicians play for over 7000 patients monthly: in waiting rooms, treatment areas, palliative care, dialysis, and, generally throughout the hospitals. Almost every day our musicians hear comments like: "I just received a cancer diagnosis, but for the ten minutes I was sitting here listening to you play: I forgot." Comments like these are what inspired us to make this album in the first place and now we want to put it in the hands of patients for free.
Thank you so much for your invaluable support!
