The Songs of Love Foundation is proud to announce that it is now accepting Bitcoin donations to bring smiles to children and teens battling serious illness and lifetime disabilities. Visit www.songsoflove.org/bitcoins.

About Songs of Love:
 
The Songs of Love Foundation is a national nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that creates uplifting, personalized songs for children and teens struggling with a life-threatening illness or lifetime disability--free of charge. Each CD is professionally produced with lyrics containing the child's name and references to all of his or her favorite activities, things, people, and pets. Songs are written and performed in the musical style that the child likes best (pop, r&b, rap, rock, alternative, etc.), by a variety of talented professionals. The organization is named after a song called "Songs of Love" that Julio Beltzer (Songs of Love founder John Beltzer's twin brother) wrote just 2 months before he died on April 12, 1984.
 
As each child is unique, so is every “song of love” composition. Since 1996 the Songs of Love Foundation has reached out to nearly 24,000 children in over 500 hospitals and health care facilities in all 50 states. The songs have often been played to alleviate pain and trauma during painful and scary hospital treatments.  The song recipients have played their "songs of love" in all kinds of situations and settings such as car trips to the hospital, show and tell at school, for family and friends in person or on the phone, and even for the doctors and nurses. The children have their "songs of love" always available to them whenever they are feeling down. To hear many the many "songs of love" that children have already received click on our jukebox found on our home page at www.songsoflove.org.
The Songs of Love Foundation has been featured on the Today Show, 60 Minutes, NBC Nightly News, CNN, Dateline and People, Parade and American Profile Magazines. Performers such as Ben Taylor, Jason Mraz, Michael Bolton, Billy Joel , David Lee Roth and Ronnie Spector have all contributed their voices on a "Song of Love" for an individual sick child.
The cost to run the entire organization, including hospital outreach, song production, operational expenses, etc., has averaged $250 per song per child, making Songs of Love one of the most cost-effective charities in relation to the one-of-a-kind everlasting therapeutic product that it produces. Sponsoring a "song of love" for a sick child is a wise social investment that keeps paying dividends in the form of repeated smiles whenever an ailing child hears his or her very own "song of love". Songs of Love has received the "Best in America" Independent Charities of America Seal which is only given to one percent of charities across America.

A donation of 2 Bitcoins will sponsor a "song of love" for a sick child and you get a CD copy of the "song of love" that you sponsored with your name on the CD booklet. However, any amount is appreciated. To donate Bitcoins please visit www.songsoflove.org/bitcoins.
