Review for Pickleberry Pie Inc., Cheltenham , PA, USA
I have been playing in hospitals and special needs classrooms on behalf of Pickleberry Pie for about 5 years. Not only is the positive effect of our performances visible in the smiles of the children for whom we play, but also in the eyes of their families and even hospital care-givers. In fact, our regional hospital in Santa Barbara, CA (Cottage Hospital) just asked us to double the number of performances each month.
I'm incredibly proud to be an in-room representative of Pickleberry Pie and to bring all those smiles to hospitalized children and their families.

Review for Pickleberry Pie Inc., Cheltenham , PA, USA
I have participated in Pickleberry Pie hospital concerts for 3 years in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, CA. We also include 2 special education classes in Santa Barbara. This program positively affects not just the children in hospitals and special education classrooms, but entire families, hospital workers, and aides, as well. In situations of sadness, grief, fear, frustration, and exhaustion, the Pickleberry Pie team of musicians brings joy, humor, and personal connection to those in need.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
sharing the joy and "going to a happier place" with children in hospitals. One Mom tearfully told me playing lullabies to her child was the best thing that had happened in the hospital.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
seeing the direct positive impact on children and their families.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
in short, heroes.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
continue to reach children and families in hospitals across the country; expand its network of songwriting with teenage cancer survivors.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
