Ukulele Kids Club
Our vision is to transform lives through music. Our mission focuses on improving the well-being of medically fragile children by providing them with the gift of music for life through ukuleles and the support of music therapy. Founded in 2013 by Corey and Edda Bergman as a tribute to Corey’s son Jared, who tragically passed away from a viral infection at the age of 20, we believe that all children should have the opportunity to engage in experiences rooted in wellness, creativity, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
