The Ukelf's Holiday Uke Drive
Our new friend the Ukelf travels from the North Pole with one mission: to bring courage, comfort, and joy to children spending the holidays in the hospital. But he can’t do it alone.
This year, UKC is aiming to place 300 ukuleles into the hands of kids who need a spark of hope. Your support makes this possible. Give any amount, or become a SuperStar by sponsoring an entire hospital program.
The Ukelf's Holiday Story
Every December, something magical happens in children’s hospitals across the country. The Ukelf arrives with a bag full of ukuleles to place at kids’ bedsides.
He knows how hard it is to spend the holidays in the hospital, so he’s on a mission to bring joy, comfort, and music to every child he meets. And now he’s asking for your help to fill his bag.
Your donation places ukuleles directly into the hands of children who then work with music therapists to find healing and hope. Together, we can fill hospitals with music, smiles, and holiday magic.

Our Story
UKC was founded in 2013, inspired by one simple belief: Music helps kids cope, heal, and find joy even during the hardest moments. What began as a small act of kindness by Corey of donating a handful of ukuleles to a hospital, has grown into a worldwide movement where we deploy ukuleles to children facing physical and mental health challenges.
