Cancer journeys are hard. We formed Musicland Gift Foundation to be a source of inspiration and generosity.
Our mission is simple – we fund the extraordinary work of the Supportive Oncology Department at the Atrium Health Levine Cancer Institute. Their vision, the development of a National Model for Cancer Survivorship. Our vision is to support them with every ounce of ourselves.
If you find a way to help us with a donation. We’ll help scale the exceptional cancer care provided by Levine Cancer Institute and redefine cancer as we know it.
Musicland Gift Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity foundation. EIN 86-3363354.
A National Model for Cancer Survivorship recognizes that cancer patients and their families face similar and complex challenges no matter where they live. The principles developed by Levine Cancer—whether in survivorship, symptom management, or caregiver support—are not confined to one hospital system. These principles will create best practices that can be replicated at hospitals and clinics across the United States and eventually the world. They advance cutting edge research on improving the quality of life for survivors and will establish national training programs for physicians, nurses and workers.

In January of 2021 Kenny Kahn experienced a serious cancer diagnosis firsthand and recognized that what gave him the greatest relief on his journey, was listening to music.
In recognition, friends and family began to make Kenny playlists and share songs, videos and artists. Along the way, Kenny’s daughter Rachel, away at college and feeling far from home, relied on the music she loves to help her find strength during this scary time. They both experienced the healing gift of music.
During Kenny’s cancer journey he was cared for by his Lymphoma team and the Supportive Oncology Department at Atrium Health Levine Cancer. The Supportive Oncology team provided all levels of Survivorship Care including nutritional counseling, psycho-oncology, physical therapy, healing touch massage, acupuncture, palliative care, music therapy, art therapy, cancer rehabilitation and cancer rehabilitation.

The Levine Cancer Supportive Oncology model emphasizes treating the whole person, including the spiritual and mental effects of cancer. By complementing traditional medical oncology treatments, supportive oncology results in better quality of life and improved outcomes for many patients.
