GRANT FROM A FAMILY FOUNDATION FOR 2026!

We are delighted that in December we received a most generous grant for $20,000!

A private family foundation based here in Maricopa County presented us with a twenty thousand dollar donation to help us fulfill our central mission in 2026. Our mission is to provide music therapy to people with Parkinson's disease in an inclusive supportive environment.

This is the fourth year we have received a grant from this Foundation. In their letter to Tremble Clefs Arizona, they wrote:

We appreciate all you do for our communities. We look forward to hearing how our support has benefited your organization and wish you continued success in the coming year.

Our grant proposal included funds for concerts to underserved populations, ability to have information booths at PD community events in Maricopa County and help with members to attend the World Parkinson Congress which will be held in Phoenix May 24-27, 2026. We are all grateful for their generous grant funding.

A Celebration Concert - 30 Years of Courage, Community & Song to Live with Parkinson's Disease

This concert combined all choirs. There was a visual presentation of the history of the group. The Jewish Community Center gave us a room count of 275, including singers. So, we filled the hall and an enthusiastic audience enjoyed a program of song where individuals with Parkinson's disease shared how this music therapy group helped them.

Four Directors: Sun Joo Lee, Kiersten Jungbluth, Carolyn Perkins and Merri Zohar

Three Accompanists on the piano: Linus Jung, Mutsumi Mori, Jan Schaasfsma
