Since the inception of the Healing Art of MusicTM
program, LSO has collaborated with 37 different medical nonprofit
organizations, each with a focus on a different health concern and each with a
different purpose for its event. Each Community Partner is
carefully selected from the community by the LSO, with criteria including size,
compelling mission, and solid organizational infrastructure.
To date, LSO's
collaborations with Community Partners have resulted in over $850,000
raised for the medically underserved in Greater Boston.
With this model of
community empowerment, the amount of money raised by Community
Partner organizations only tells part of the story. Some
organizations have used their events to galvanize their boards and launch
initiatives; others have recognized prominent people in their organization or
in the field; still others have brought in their own patient and client
populations. The publicity surrounding each concert shines a spotlight on
the Community Partners and raises awareness that reaches beyond the
hospital, beyond the community and even beyond the city.
