MOC's Record: Making a Difference
"Over the past 20 years we've brought the healing power of music to over 700,000 people in hospitals nationwide. A single song has the ability to lift a patient's spirit unlike anything else and science has proven that music does actually help patients heal," said Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin.
He continued, "It's been an honor to bring this experience to facilities nationwide and we could not have done it without the support of our community, volunteers and artists who generously give their time and talents to brighten someone's day, especially champions like Shane Tarleton, Charlie Cook and Lauren Alaina. What better way to celebrate this milestone than with music icon, Blake Shelton!"
The Musicians on Call 20th Anniversary Kickoff Celebration is sponsored by City National Bank, Outback Presents, Warner Music Nashville, OnSite, HCA, RIAA, UMG Nashville, YouTube, Cumulus Media and John and Stephanie Roberts.
Events After Nashville
Musicians On Call will also host special celebratory events coast-to-coast, starting with the kick-off concert in Nashville.
This fall, MOC will honor its founders and many supporters from throughout its 20 years at a gala celebration in New York City.
Leading up to the gala celebration, MOC will host celebrity hospital visits, a 20th anniversary auction, social challenge and its first-ever 20-day fundraising challenge. Throughout the year, MOC will be posting its favorite "MOC Moments" using #MOC20 and encourages supporters to post their favorites as well.
MOC began with its first "Bedside Performance Program" in New York in 1999, co-founded by music industry entrepreneurs Michael Solomon and Vivek Tiwary, and has since expanded across the country with programs in 20 major markets.
Fans of the TV show, "Turning Point" will recall the episode devoted to Musicians on Call in New York City. You can find and watch it in the archive at www.byutv.org/turningpoint
MOC's "Bedside Performance Program" first came to Nashville in 2007. Since then, it has performed for more than 155,000 individuals in local hospitals.
