Since 1995, The Johnny Mercer Foundation has supported Braille Institute through the creation of the Johnny Mercer Music Program, which includes the Johnny Mercer Children’s Choir.
The Children’s Choir helps blind and visually impaired children find their voices through music instruction and performance.

We’re very proud of all they continue to accomplish.
