about

The Wiggly Tendrils have a lot to be thankful for. This year we decided to celebrate turkey day by recording an album of songs that contain recipes. When you download this album you'll receive a zip file containing 12 high quality music files and a 14 page PDF with lyrics and artwork.

We've worked hard on this album, and it's for a good cause. We're donating the proceeds to the The Patient Care Fund at Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland, where one of our members works as a pediatrician.

Every year, thousands of children are hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Oakland and receive world class care. Unfortunately, many families cannot afford the medications their children need to complete their treatment after hospitalization.

While emergency resources often exist to pay for the hospital stay, there are fewer options that help with the costs of continued care once the patient is discharged. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurances alone cannot meet every need that may arise. Many parents and care providers are challenged when faced with the costs of medications that they need to make their child well.

Purchase a copy of this record and The Wiggly Tendrils will donate the proceeds to The Patient Care fund at Children's Hospital Oakland... Or better yet, visit the Patient Care Fund's website and make a tax deductible donation directly:

Happy Thanksgiving!
