Founder’s Journey
In 2002, Dr. Raffi Tachdjian, our founder and president, met Justin. This 15-year-old young man was battling a malignant bone cancer called Osteosarcoma, and his last treatment regime was not successful. Looking to make the time that he had left, most memorable, Dr.Tachdjian fulfilled this child’s wish to play music and personally gave him a guitar. Music significantly uplifted Justin, giving him hope and strength as he battled his disease.
Justin’s experience spurred Dr. Tachdjian to give the gift of the healing power of music to more pediatric patients and their families. We thank Justin and his family for inspiring our daily work at CMF, month after month and year after year. You are the torch we carry in our hearts and illuminate us with every step we take towards serving more children, evangelizing the healing power of music, and opening our hearts to what is possible. Learn more about our mission.

How Has Music Changed Your Life?
Music heals us all. Today, we ask each of you to answer this question for yourself – How has music healed in your life?
Just think about that question for a while. Close your eyes and think about your connection to music. How has music lifted your spirits when you needed it most? And in the times you have been struggling, a particular song brought you right back to a special moment in your life and brought a huge smile to your face, about a Zen moment you had while listening to a particular piece of music. You could have all or none of these specific experiences, but we know that you have your unique connection to music and recognize how it has healed in your life.
CMF has made strides in its first 20 years. We are doubling our efforts to ensure we increase our impact in the next 20 years. We have learned so much and will use it to amplify the healing power of music and serve more sick children by bringing joy and smiles to their faces and hearts.
