MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, January 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sony Music Group (SMG) has reaffirmed its dedication to supporting music therapy for medically fragile children by renewing its partnership with the Ukulele Kids Club (UKC). This collaboration, facilitated by Sony Music Latin and funded through SMG's Global Social Justice Fund, underscores the company's commitment to leveraging music as a therapeutic tool to improve the lives of young patients.

The renewed support from SMG will enable UKC to expand its reach, providing more ukuleles and music therapy resources to children in hospitals and healthcare settings worldwide, with a special emphasis on the Latin American programs sponsored in the initial SMG and UKC partnership. Since its inception in 2013, UKC has donated over 16,000 ukuleles to children in need, fostering healing and joy through music.

Marlén Rodriguez-Wolfe, Chair of UKC, expressed gratitude for the ongoing partnership: "Sony Music Group's renewed support, particularly through the efforts of our partners at Sony Music Latin and the Global Social Justice Fund, is instrumental in helping us bring the healing power of music to even more children in need. Their commitment enables us to continue our mission of transforming lives through music therapy and the ukulele."

In addition to financial contributions, SMG also supports UKC through outreach programs and opportunities for employee and artist engagement, fostering ongoing connections between Sony Music and music therapy communities around the country. The renewed partnership between SMG and UKC is set to support active programs and initiatives to reach children in the United States and Latin America, ensuring that more medically fragile children have access to the benefits of music therapy and an instrument of their own.
