Musicians on Call will celebrate its 15th anniversary this coming Nov. 18 at Espace in New York City. This year's event will honor both Kelly Clarkson and Charlie Walk, Executive VP of Republic Records, according to Rolling Stone.
Both honorees have been heavily present in the non-profit organization, which aims to put music at the bedsides of hospital patients all across the nation in the form of both recorded music and live shows.
The 2014 event will house performances from Nick Jonas, Jessie J and Canadian pop sensation Shawn Mendes.
On the Musicians on Call organization, Clarkson notes, "Being involved with Musicians on Call has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I consider it a great gift to be able to share music and bring smiles to these brave children and their loves ones. It is healing for us all and I can't wait to do it again!"
As part of the MOC, RS reports that Jonas performed for a number of patients at Montefiore Children's Hospital in the Bronx, NY earlier this month. He told the mag, "The power of music can help anyone facing difficult times. I recently had the opportunity to visit a Musicians on Call program and I couldn't be more excited to perform at the 15th Anniversary Celebration which raises awareness for such a great cause.
MOC was founded back in 1999 and has since had the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Pharrell Williams, Paramore and Justin Bieber participate in their powerful program.
