Jo yRx|Childr en’s Cancer
Association
https://joyrx.org/
Mission:
Founded as Children’s Cancer Association in 1995 by the
Ellis family in Portland, Oregon, JoyRx creates transformational
moments of Joy for children fighting cancer and other serious
illnesses.
JoyRx Music, JoyRx Mentorship, and JoyRx Nature create
feel-good moments for children to positively shift their mood
— relieving the stress, sadness, and anxiety caused by difficult
treatments and lengthy hospitalizations.
At JoyRx, we know it takes more than medicine to treat cancer
and other serious illnesses.
Simply put: Joy helps sick kids feel better.
Programs:
JoyRx Music draws on the universal power of music to
energize and lift spirits. With kid-prescribed music medicine,
our JoyRx musicians allow children to choose the musical
experience that best fits their current emotional state and their
desired mood.
