Musicians on Call

‘Musicians on Call is bringing music to those who need it most. They deliver the healing power of music. By delivering live, in-room performances to patients undergoing treatment or unable to leave their beds, they add a dose of joy to life in a healthcare facility.

Since 1999, their volunteer musicians have performed for nearly half a million patients and their families. With your help, They can do even more.’

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Mission is providing children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.

‘Being a Big Brother or Big Sister is one of the most enjoyable things you’ll ever do. Not to mention, one of the most fulfilling. The agency requires a one-year commitment, but most matches last for several years because the experience is so rewarding.

You have the opportunity to help shape a child’s future for the better by empowering them to achieve. And the best part is, it’s actually a lot of fun. You and your Little can share the kinds of activities you already like to do.

Play sports together. Go on a hike. Read books. Eat a pizza with extra anchovies. Or just give some advice and inspiration. Whatever it is you enjoy, odds are you’ll enjoy it even more with your Little—and you’ll be making a life-changing impact.’

Volunteering just a few hours a month with a child can start something amazing. Why not apply to be a Big today? There are kids out there ready to get started. Are you?
