WHAT WE DO
You've enjoyed SQRRL!'s lively show at community centers, libraries and schools throughout the Mid Atlantic region. This year, SQRRL! has a new focus: sharing hope, joy, and the spirit of imagination through music for children isolated by illness and hardship, while also creating awareness of children in need.
SQRRL! Across America is an outreach vision of Doug Segree's. A lifetime career musician, father of 3, and high energy creative cat, Doug's discover a passion for bringing music to kids feelings of isolation that illness can manifest. "When I see the smiles, and hear the kids laugh... there's just nothing better."
With COVID-19, it's even more important to reach out to kids now. We've begun doing this in 2020 by going room to room virtually, streaming our visits through tablets brought to the kids by hospital staff. We premiered our Virtual Visit program with two visits to Baltimore Sinai Hospital (through
Hope for Henry). We are eager to grow our programming reach to more children inside and outside hospitals, across the USA.
