Application deadline for 2025-2026 Philanthropy Tank Programs is October 26, 2025.
West Palm Beach, FL (October 17, 2025) The Philanthropy Tank Music for Memory program is partnering with Rohi’s Readery in West Palm Beach for their Rhythms of Humanity Block Party being held at 630 7th Street on Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The event celebrates 100 years of music and culture in the Historic Northwest District through storytelling, music, dance, and more. Music for Memory is a Philanthropy Tank program that promotes music participation by people with dementia and other memory impairments to improve their cognition. Music for Memory is on the program beginning at 2:45 p.m. with a high school jazz combo and sing-along program. Participants are encouraged to sing, dance, and tap their feet to the music!
Joanne Choi, the student organizer of the Music for Memory Program, was introduced to the owner of Rohi’s Readery through one of her mentors at Philanthropy Tank. This collaboration will expose the Historic Northwest community to the benefits of the Music for Memory program and expand opportunities to help more community members who suffer from dementia and other memory challenges. Most of the student volunteers in the Music for Memory program attend the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, where Philanthropy Tank established one of its first PT clubs.
