Mission: Cancer Can Rock is a non-profit organization founded by Jim Ebert, a multi-platinum record producer, himself a cancer survivor.
Unlike most cancer-based charities, Cancer Can Rock doesn't seek a cure, rather it strives to serve a singular community: Musicians facing aggressive cancer.
Donations to Cancer Can Rock go toward getting these musicians into a studio with professionals and producing a tangible result for them and their families during what is otherwise an unsettling time for them. These songs have provided both pride for those who have survived and solace for those that survived them. Many family members and some of the artists have communicated that the studio time was one of the best experiences in the artist's life.
Cancer has no perks. Cancer Can Rock, at least for a moment, changes that for those it serves.
Cancer Can Rock was created to give gifted musicians diagnosed with aggressive forms of cancer an opportunity to share their genius with the world through recorded medium. Sadly, many brilliant musicians will never get the chance to shine that one last time. That is our mission. To give the very best musicians battling cancer the opportunity to record their music using the finest producers, studio musicians, and facilities to ensure their significant musical contributions do not go unnoticed, and their musical legacy to the arts is guaranteed.
