We are deeply appreciative of the accomplishments that JFK Foundation has achieved at the Children’s Hospital, and the smiles that they have put on the faces of families and medical professionals. Ozzaz is proud to support the JFK Foundation’s exceptional efforts amongst our community." Thank you!

Meet one of our youngest JFK Voices participants, Alya Khalid from @edgarcramp. This 12 year old singer is also our top fundraiser, having raised over $5000 for our mental health campaign. We are so grateful Why is Alya participating in Voices this year? So many children are suffering from anxiety and depression during these difficult times of covid. Life has been turned upside down for so many and I’m hoping that the funds I raise through my participation in JFK Voices can provide more resources to help in the mental health of these children. Being 12 years old, I’m new to fundraising and JFK Voices seemed like a perfect fit for me as I also love to sing. Thank you! #giveback #jfkfoundation #jfkvoices #mentalhealth #community #support #makeadifference #sing

#MentalHealth Monday - Introducing JFK Voices participant Nihari Senaratne, student at Kuper Academy. Proceeds from JFK Voices will go towards improving mental health resources at the Children’s Hospital. Here’s why Nihari is participating Mental health comes first, before anything. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it is a sign of strength and acceptance. I am participating in the JFK Voices event in order to raise money and awareness for mental health related issues, which continue to be silenced throughout the world. Music is my remedy during troublesome times and I believe that one way for me to help others is by doing what I love and sharing my music with people. @nihariiii #jfkvoices #jfkfoundation #voices #singersongwriter #sing #music #musicisntcanceled #MentalHealth #support
