3. Dear FLEA Ukulele purchasers & sponsors,
Your generosity shares joy. Each and every ukulele adds to the chorus. Whether you
purchase an instrument to enjoy (proceeds support donations), or sponsor them outright
via our efficiencies for hospital and school programs, you make this happen.
Together, we form a heartfelt community that’s ever growing. All centered on this
“little instrument with a big heart”. FLEA® ukuleles are made in USA by The Magic Fluke
Company. Fun and therapeutic! We unite to help music therapists help young hospital
patients and family members. We also help prom goers enjoy a safe night.
Best wishes to you, your family and your organization for a joyous holiday season and
happy New Year. Thank you for sharing true joy!
Greg

4. Expanding Our Reach
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center remains the primary beneficiary of FLEA ukulele
donations for Music Therapy. Sponsor donations enable more patients to borrow and strum FLEA
ukuleles between sessions. In special cases, a family is allowed to keep an instrument given the
cherished role it played during difficult times.
Seattle Children's Hospital is joining as a "sister city" beneficiary. It too is on the Top 12 Honor Roll for
being a Best Children's Hospital per US News & World Report rankings. Their talented, board certified
music therapists (David Knott, Betsy Hartman) deploy a small number of FLEA ukuleles from prior
purchases. They are excited about reaching more patients with these versatile music therapy tools.
You can see Betsy and David in action at Seattle Children's Hospital on YouTube. Type or copy this link

Alternatively, the 4:15 video posted March 16, 2015 should appear in YouTube search results by typing
the title: Music Therapy | When Music Heals | IN Close (click underlined text if viewing in PDF or PPT)
Want to support our reach to Seattle? Expand the set in Cincinnati? Know others who may have
interest? Please let me know, share my email (info@truejoyacoustics.com).
New sponsors benefit from our pricing efficiencies (currently $175 = 1 instrument, $500 = 3 instruments
and we’ll top off the latter with a 4th instrument!) plus potential tax benefits by paying the hospital directly
with a "designated gift" pledge. Arrangements and prompt delivery are handled by True Joy Acoustics.
