May 5K for Hear Your Song: Run, Walk, or Roll!

Donation Goal: $10,000

What’s Hear Your Song?
Hear Your Song is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth living with chronic illnesses to make their voices heard through songwriting and music production! We’ve been a nonprofit organization for 5 1/2 years. We’re so proud of the 700+ youth songwriters who have created more than 900 songs with us in those years with the support of over 500 extraordinary volunteer songwriting mentors, musicians, and lyric video creators.

At the heart of our work is an individualized, kid-driven process that puts every youth songwriter in the driver’s seat of a creative process that totally belongs to them. Hear Your Song gives POWER and CHOICE to young people who seldom have much of either power or choice in navigating their health care journeys.

While we’re a New York City-based organization, we love collaborating with youth songwriters virtually all over the US and beyond. That’s why our May 5K celebrates both our NYC community and our virtual community too.

All of our programs are completely free of charge.

To hear lots of the songs that youth songwriters have created, please subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on Instagram.

What will the May 5K support?
For the first time, Hear Your Song will pilot a 2-day Camp Hear Your Song in New York City in August, bringing together youth songwriters and families from across the country to create music together, culminating in a concert on Sunday, August 16th. We’re hoping to raise $10K through the May 5K to support collaborative programming for kids and families across these two days, as well as travel/accommodations for out-of-town youth songwriters!
