Founded in 2000, Piano-a-thon is a marathon piano recital, benefiting Akron Children's Hospital. It was created to give piano students the opportunity for community serivce and to help children less fortunate than themselves. The donations received benefit the Emily Cooper Welty Expressive Therapy Center. This center at Akron Children's provides holistic healing through the use of creative arts (imagery, storytelling, dance, music, drama, poetry and visual arts). The arts are used to transform the hospital environment and create opportunities for expression, connection and self-identity. It is staffed by art and music therapists who are trained to address emotional, social and physiological concerns.
