Donate new or gently used CDs and portable CD players and we, at no fee, will then distribute them to hospitals and health care facilities in hopes of building CD libraries so patients may check music in and out. There will be drop off points at various local music stores around Central New York.
The Music Drive runs from Nov. 1, 2009 through Jan. 2, 2010.
Donators may drop off CDs and players at the following locations: THE MUSIC CENTER (4277 James Street, East Syracuse, NY 13057), C&G MUSIC (52 Oswego Street, Baldwinsville, NY), DADDY’S JUNKY MUSIC (2413 Brewerton Road, Mattydale, NY), BEAT STREET MUSIC CO 19 E Seneca Street Manlius, NY). Music Heals CNY’s mission is to bring live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities throughout Central New York.
