let's   make   it   a  Perfect  day
music  on  a  mission  to  help  kids  live  well

Dr. Ben & Co. launched a Kickstarter music campaign in June 2014 to fund A Perfect Day – a children’s album packaging up summer camp’s empowering fun to boost the outlook and health of kids living with significant medical conditions. A Perfect Day on Kickstarter.com reached its goal and raised more than $15,000 from organizations like HopeLab and individuals worldwide.   

The album’s inspiration comes from kids who Dr. Ben has cared for that choose to see the good in things, despite imperfect health circumstances. Dr. Ben’s service at the SeriousFun Children's Network of camps, founded by Paul Newman, has shown how camp experiences transform kids. The music of A Perfect Day helps kids draw upon camp’s psychosocial benefits (e.g., positive coping strategies and decreased illness-related stress).

Musicians participating in the project include: Alastair Greene and Austin Beede from the Alastair Greene Band, Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket, bassist David Piltch, harmonica legend Tom Ball and guitarists Nick Massie and Daniel Zimmerman.

I believed there was a community that would rally around A Perfect Day and its mission to build up kids. The response on Kickstarter simply proved it!"
