WXPN 5k Run for Musicians On Call

Give the Gift of Music That Heals

It’s no secret that music can help you feel better. That’s why WXPN Musicians On Call brings music to people who need it most —hospital patients.

WXPN Musicians On Call brings live music to the bedsides of patients in nine area hospital throughout our region. Drawing on WXPN's strong relationship with the local music community, volunteer musicians led by volunteer guides have been providing in-room, bedside performances for patients and their caregivers in Delaware Valley hospitals since 2004.

Your Support Is Needed As In-person Visits Return

In 2020, Musicians On Call took its programs virtual in an effort to reach patients and caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 2023, volunteer guides and musicians have returned to live in-person performances at several facilities, with more scheduled to return this summer and fall. The funds you raise will go directly to supporting the recruiting, training, and onboarding of new and returning volunteer guides and musicians and is crucial to delivering healing power of music to all nine facilities.

Musicians On Call Offerings:

• In-person and Virtual Bedside Performances connecting volunteer musicians and guides with hospital-bound patients.
• Music Pharmacies consisting of tablets equipped with streaming services and top-of-the-line headphones ready for patient use.
• #MOCheals Playlists offered to patients and caregivers to provide soothing and uplifting music whenever they need it.

Your tax-deductible donation will help WXPN deliver the healing power of music to patients and the caregivers and provide the funding needed to launch special musical outreach programs to first responders in the Delaware Valley.
