About this organization
Mission
The mission of Do It For The Love is to inspire hope and healing through the power of music by supporting clinical and community-based music therapy, evidence-based research, and providing live music experiences.
About
As a world-known musician, Michael Franti, has been spreading his message of love, peace and social justice for decades. As a Registered Nurse, Sara Agah Franti, has witnessed firsthand the toll that life-threatening medical conditions have on both patients and their loved ones. Michael and Sara created a project that bridges their passions and expertise – Do It For The Love. In April 2013, Steve and Hope Dezember reached out to Michael and asked that Steve’s wish to attend Michael Franti & Spearhead’s concert be granted. Steve was living with advanced stages of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). During the show, Michael invited the couple to join him and the band onstage. Although Steve was barely able to move his body, he asked Hope to lift him out of his wheelchair. Wrapped in each other’s arms, they danced on stage in front of 20,000 fellow music fans. There was not a dry eye in the house. Michael and Sara had been looking for a project to work on together. That night, they decided they would continue to give the gift of live music to inspire joy, connectedness and a positive, potentially life-changing experience to as many people in need as possible. Their mission is to provide thousands of people in need the healing power of music. Steve passed away in April 2020. Michael and Sara will always remain touched by his strength and love of music. Now more than ever, Do It For The Love, led by Steve’s inspiring story, aims to help as many people as possible find joy and create celebratory memories through amazing musical experiences.
