The Songs of Love Foundation is a non-profit organization that creates free personalized
songs for ailing children. Dave Kinnoin, along with other professional songwriters
from all over the country (and the world) write, perform and produce more than
250 original songs every month. Songs are written and performed in any style
ranging from hip-hop to heavy metal, pop to classical, with lyrics based on
the interests of each child and the loving people in that child’s life. Children
of all ages (up to and including 21) who are currently battling a serious illness
are eligible to receive a song, free of charge.
Every child is unique and so is every "song of love" composition. In 13 years, the Songs of Love Foundation has written songs for more than 19,000 children in hospitals throughout the country and the world. The songs alleviate pain and trauma during painful and scary hospital treatments. Song recipients play their "songs of love" in all kinds of situations and settings such as car trips to the hospital, show and tell at school, for family and friends, and even for the doctors and nurses.
There are many ways to help this unique and innovative children’s charity. Through its vehicle donation program, CARS (Children Are Receiving Cars), folks across the country can donate their car, boat, or other vehicle in order to help further the organization’s mission of music. Donated vehicles are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.
For more information on donating your car, boat or other automobile, you can visit www.songsoflove.org/cardonation or call toll-free, 1-888-909-SONG (7664).
Each child’s “song of love” costs the charity approximately $250 to create, though the Songs of Love Foundation also accepts cash donations in any amount. The $250 covers the cost to produce the song, as well as all administrative and office tasks involved in delivering each song to the child it was written for.
To make a cash donation, you can visit www.songsoflove.org/donation or call toll-free, 1-800-960-SONG (7664).
