Through his support of the Heather on Earth Music Foundation, Corey Ribotsky, as the managing member of the NIR Group of Roslyn, New York, helps relieve some of the fear, pain and suffering of seriously ill children and their families.

Because music reaches into the inner being of people, including children, music is able to inspire, relax, calm and distract the consciousness so that peace can be experienced.
Not only does this help pediatric patients emotionally to better cope with their situation, this inner peace can strengthen the immune system, decrease the perception of pain, reduce anxiety and improve cooperation with medical procedures and care givers.

The gift of music that Heather on Earth bestows, with the much needed and appreciated support it receives from Corey Ribotsky and the NIR Group, is a true gift which improves the quality life of children and their families.
