The Beginning...

It all began in 2010
with an enCOURAGEing song
about being
BRAVE, STRONG & COURAGEOUS!

Shortly after recording this song in 2011, our 5 year old daughter had two young friends diagnosed with cancer. Through their fight these two families were enCOURAGEd by this song & began sharing it with other families going through treatment. By 2012 hundreds of CD's with the song "Strong and Courageous" had been donated to children facing health challenges. The need was great, the mission was clear and our nonprofit was born...

I AM COURAGEOUS


Our mission is to enCOURAGE children in the hospital through uplifting music & entertainment.

In 2021, we began traveling full time across the country singing in children's hospitals. That same year, IAC filled a need for CCTV content in hospitals by creating IAC TV. Over 15 hours of curated music and videos designed to lift spirits, ease pain and enCOURAGE. Tailored for children of all ages, background & needs, IAC's live music visits & content offers a joyful escape when needed most.

Annual impact:

  • 95+ LIVE music programs

  • 14,000+ people

  • Thousands of miles

  • Thousands of smiles

I Am Courageous is fully funded by generous donors who believe in the power of music and the impact IAC is making.

They are the inspiration behind

I Am COURAGEOUS.

These precious fighters both lost their battle with cancer, but their short time on earth was all about staying positive and making the world a better place.

They were the definition of  

STRONG & COURAGEOUS.

They embraced life, loved big

and will forever be the driving force behind IAC!
