CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION MUSIC STREET TEAM
The David Lynch Foundation (DLF) is bringing you music that changes the world with our new initiative — DLF MUSIC. We’ve partnered with PledgeMusic to raise funds for DLF with the release of exclusive tracks from a star-studded music line-up. All proceeds go to support DLF’s stress-reducing, meditation-based educational programs that serve at-risk populations, such as inner-city youth, the homeless, and veterans with PTSD. By joining our PledgeMusic Campaign, you will enjoy an insider’s access to exclusive, never before-heard tracks from our first 17 participating artists who have donated music to DLF… and also get exclusive video, photos, & blog updates giving you a glimpse into the artists lives and experiences. GREAT ARTISTS + GREAT CAUSE = MUSIC THAT CHANGES THE WORLD
The David Lynch Foundation (DLF) is a non-profit educational organization whose mission— based on the theme, Change Begins Within— is to transform schools from places of stress and violence into centers of peace, calm and coherence. To accomplish this, DLF teaches students to meditate—raising the necessary scholarship funds to teach these at-risk youth for free. When they meditate their grades go up, they don’t drop out of school, and they stop acting out in class. In the past 5 years, DLF has provided over 150,000 scholarships for at-risk students to learn meditation in 160 schools in 24 countries. DLF also offers its stress-reducing, meditation-based programs to other at-risk populations including: inmates and guards in prisons, formerly homeless men in re-entry programs, Native Americans suffering from diabetes, and a new initiative—Operation Warrior Wellness— to teach 10,000 veterans with PTSD to meditate.
