AMP Co-Founder TERRY STUART said, “We’ve seen so much good come from both of these programs. Whether it’s been with youth or seniors, the impact that music, and stories about music, has had on our program participants has truly been remarkable. It has sparked conversations that have led to better social integration, elevated mood, and a new appreciation for the role music plays in mental wellness and mental health.”

Co-Founder ROB CARLI added, "With the incredible line-up of items we have for the "Awesome Online Music Auction" we’re hoping to raise enough money to expand THE AWESOME MUSIC HOUR and the AMP4LIFE BOOK CLUB to several new sites in early 2023. If you see something you like, bid early and bid often knowing that your money will go to support a great cause.”
