Honoring 30 Years of JoyRx in 2025.

This year, we’ve reached a milestone: 30 years of JoyRx. That means 30 years of impact, 30 years of innovative programs, and 30 years of working with pediatric partners and families to create more than two million JoyRx interactions in the Pacific Northwest, and across the nation.

We invite you join our legacy: in celebration, in memoriam, in gratitude, and in joy. Throughout the year, we’ll share curated story collections, music, impact reports, memories, and opportunities to join us in honoring three decades of JoyRx.

“At this milestone, we recommit ourselves to the next 30 years, ensuring that no child fights alone, that no family carries this burden in isolation, and that love, music, and joy continue to be a part of every child’s healing journey. Because we know kids need more than medicine.”

- Regina Ellis | Founder, Children’s Cancer Association

JoyRx Music: Share Your Song

There are lots of ways for artists and musicians to share the joy of music with the children and families that we serve. Whether it is volunteering for in-person music opportunities, or sharing digital content for our channels: we’d love to include your music in the celebration.

Our belief in the power of joy has carried us through thousands of children’s stories, each one unique, each one deeply important.
