We had the awesome opportunity to bring the Mini Studio™ down to the Children’s Cancer Association Celebration of Courage event last Sunday. CCA is an amazing organization, born from the legacy of a little girl who lost her own battle with cancer but fought bravely to the end. Her family started CCA because, as they so eloquently state on their website, “When seriously ill kids and their families need more than medicine, CCA is there with compassion and innovation creating moments of respite and hope, in the hospital and at home. Managed by a professional staff and powered by volunteers, CCA brings soothing music in a time of crisis, friendship in a time of loneliness, resources in a time of turmoil and vital support in the midst of life-threatening illness. We call it Joy Rx.”
Joy Rx was in full force on Sunday at the Celebration of Courage. Pirate singers joined the party and provided music throughout the event. Face painters, balloon masters, and “tatoo” artists decorated the guests, and craft stations were set up to make all manner of pirate paraphenalia. And when they were full decked out, they joined us in the Mini Studio™ to record the moment. We had an amazing time bringing a little bit of fun into the lives of some people who truly deserve it.
