About The Danny Awards:
In 2006, Daniel’s Music Foundation was founded by the Trush family to empower individuals with disabilities through music. One keyboard class with five members has evolved into serving thousands of individuals - both locally in NYC at their 8,700 square-foot music center, as well as nationally through the DMF Virtual Community.
Since inception, they have witnessed the wonderful talents of musicians and have provided them with performance opportunities to share their gifts with others. But they wanted to do more - something that would have an impact globally.
In 2020, they created an award show that recognizes and showcases the musical talents of individuals with disabilities of all ages - The Danny Awards. This event has grown every year, and the talent is extraordinary. To learn more visit: danielsmusic.org/thedannys2022
