Music didn’t change the outcome, but it changed the story.
Benjamin Goldberg was five years old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that affects children. Throughout his years of treatment, music was Ben’s retreat. He could endure unimaginable experiences, quietly reaching for his signature headphones and calming his world through music.
Inspired by how Ben lived, Wendy Goldberg founded the Benjamin Goldberg Foundation (BGF). BGF brings healing arts to children, their families, and caregivers with opportunities for creative engagement and expression through the arts that support health, healing and well-being.
We do that right here on the POP. Our online, one-stop resource that allows patients and caregivers access to music, art and other healing arts in a healthcare setting or anywhere on their medical journey.
