portal story
Music didn’t change the outcome, but it changed the story.
Benjamin Goldberg was five years old when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, a rare cancer that affects children. Throughout his years of treatment, music was Ben’s retreat. He could endure unimaginable experiences, quietly reaching for his signature headphones and calming his world through music.
Inspired by how Ben lived, Wendy Goldberg founded the Benjamin Goldberg Foundation (BGF). BGF brings healing arts to children, their families, and caregivers with opportunities for creative engagement and expression through the arts that support health, healing and well-being.
One of the ways we accomplish that is right here on the Peace Out Portal. A one-stop shop, online resource that provides ways for a patient, caregiver or healthcare worker to incorporate the healing arts into a healthcare setting or on their medical journey.
The Benjamin Goldberg Foundation’s mission is to inspire and empower children, caregiver, and communities through education, integrative programming, and advocacy of the healing arts..
