The Highway 77 Music Festival will take place on Sunday,

Canton, Ohio. Dan + Shay, Justin Lynch, Maddie & Tae, Eric
Paslay and Tyler Farr are among the headliners set to perform.

“Giving back to the Northeast Ohio community is an important
foundational principle of our Company, and we are grateful to be in
a position where we can support Cleveland Clinic Children’s music
therapy program,” said Anne Graffice, Executive Vice President of
Public Affairs for HOFV. “Music is a universal outlet for healing
and expressing emotion, and we look forward to the Highway 77 Music
Festival supporting this important program for years to come.”
At Cleveland Clinic Children’s, music therapists combine music
and therapeutic techniques to promote physical, emotional, social,
developmental, or cognitive well-being of patients during
hospitalization or treatment. In the hospital setting, music
therapy goals might include decreasing anxiety or pain, improving
coping skills, coping with a new diagnosis or hospitalization,
improving mood, increasing relaxation or self-expression, providing
developmental stimulation, providing emotional support, or
providing procedural support.
“The generous support Cleveland Clinic Children's will receive
from these proceeds will allow our music therapists to reach even
more patients, giving our patients the opportunity to heal and grow
through music which is something they love,” said Christine
Bomberger, MT-BC, music therapist at Cleveland Clinic
Children's.
WDJQ Q92, Northeast Ohio’s leading radio station for hit music,
will also be supporting this partnership leading up to the Highway
77 Music Festival. The goal of all parties is to support the music
therapy program at Cleveland Clinic Children’s in an effort to help
more children experience the healing powers of music and ease the
recovery process.
"In working to support the Hall of Fame Village powered by
Johnson Controls and their mission to bring live music back to the
stage in Canton, our teams came up with a way to help fund the
music therapy program that benefits kids across northeast Ohio
receiving treatment at Cleveland Clinic Children's,” said Lauren
Capo, Operations Director at WDJQ Q92. “Everyone can identify with
music being a way to connect, relax and heal during tough times and
from a station perspective we want to keep that music playing in
Northeast Ohio. We're just happy that we have incredible resources
locally like the Hall of Fame Village powered by Johnson Controls
and Cleveland Clinic Children's to make that possible."
