Sam's Fans is a non-profit organization that supports and enhances music and art therapy programs that serve seriously ill patients and their families.
Sam's Fans was created in memory of Samantha Jane McCarthy (March 15, 1998 - October 15, 2009) who loved music and art. After being diagnosed at the age of 7 with Fanconi Anemia, Samantha spent a good part of the her life visiting hospitals and eventually passed away after complications from a bone marrow transplant. During her time in the hospital, one of the things that brought her peace, joy and comfort was her friend and music therapist, Brian Schreck. No matter how sick, uncomfortable or unwilling to have visitors, if Brian knocked on the door Sam would welcome him in with a smile. The two would play and record music or just listen to her favorite songs by Sarah McLachlan, Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana back then), and to her and her mom's favorite, Mat Kearney.
Sam's family decided that the best way to keep her memory alive and create her legacy was to bring that same peace, comfort and joy to other sick children and their families.
