Dick Wagner Remember the Child Fund

MISSION: HEALING THROUGH MUSIC. The Dick Wagner "Remember the Child" Memorial Fund creates and funds music therapy programs for hospitalized and special needs children. We provide musical instruments, music therapy enrichment programs and funding to bring the healing powers of music and creativity to children. www.dwrtc.org

MUSIC THERAPY supports the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive well-being of children. Singing and playing music enhances mood and emotional expression, improves motor skills, and motivates children to grasp, reach, and stand. Clinical studies reveal physical benefits of improved respiration, decreased pain perception, stress relief, lowered blood pressure, and improved cardiac output. Board-certified music therapists bring musical instruments, hands-on music activities and the joy of music to hospitalized children.
