In addition to the virtual events, iHeartMedia and Ally are helping to bring the gift of music to dedicated healthcare heroes that have been staffing hospitals nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the program, Ally has committed to fund the delivery of up to 5,000 virtual eCards to frontline workers nationwide. Each card will feature an inspiring and uplifting video recorded by Musicians On Call’s volunteer musicians. The program will encourage listeners to visit a dedicated landing page on the Musicians On Call website to send a personalized e-card and music video to doctors and nurses in their own lives. As part of the series, each artist will surprise caregivers around the country with a virtual meet & greet and performance as a token of appreciation for their work on the frontlines.

Musicians On Call President & CEO Pete Griffin said, “With the incredible sacrifices the frontline workers make every day for our safety during this pandemic, we’re committed to showing our gratitude while delivering a musical break to their stressful days. We’ve witnessed time and again the healing power of music and we are proud to partner with iHeartMedia and Ally to share some joy with the people who need it the most right now. With their support we will be able to bring smiles to the faces of thousands of healthcare workers across the country.”
