In a collaboration that beautifully unites artistry with mission, Sing for Hope is honored to spotlight its partnership with Foundrae, the renowned fine jewelry brand, built on a shared belief in the transformative power of the arts. This collaboration brings together Foundrae’s artistry and Sing for Hope’s mission, with initiatives actively uplifting communities across New York City and beyond.
At the heart of this partnership is a special Sing for Hope Piano, custom-created by Foundrae Founder and Creative Director, Beth Hutchens. Titled “Dum Spiro Spero”, a Latin phrase meaning “While I breathe, I hope,” this vibrant, artist-designed instrument recently brought moments of joy and spontaneous music to the city’s public spaces, prominently located in the iconic Central Park Literary Walk, as part of Sing for Hope Pianos NYC 2025. Now, this powerful symbol of resilience and optimism will find its permanent home in a school, healthcare facility, or community center, where it will continue to inspire hope and joy for years to come.
A Medallion of Hope: Supporting Arts Education
Beyond the Sing for Hope Piano, Foundrae is galvanizing its community in support of Sing for Hope’s vital work through an ongoing initiative. The brand is offering a limited edition pavé diamond Sparrow Baby Medallion, with 100% of retail proceeds directly benefiting the Sing for Hope Education program.
This exquisite medallion, crafted in 18k yellow gold with a sparkling pavé diamond ground, beautifully represents resilience. The sparrow, chosen for its homophone “spero” (meaning “I hope” in Latin and Italian), serves as a constant reminder that “as long as I breathe, I hope,” a powerful message in times of adversity.
The Sing for Hope Education program provides dynamic arts classes and workshops that uplift youth, educators, and communities, offering transformative access to the arts where it’s needed most. Foundrae’s generous contribution significantly enhances Sing for Hope’s efforts to provide these essential programs in schools and beyond.
Amplifying Impact: Art For All
Foundrae’s partnership directly supports the Sing for Hope Pianos program, which creates artist-designed pianos, places them in public spaces for everyone to enjoy, and then transports and activates them year-round in schools, hospitals, and community centers worldwide. Sing for Hope proudly notes its distinction in providing more pianos for under-resourced public schools than any other organization in the world.
This collaboration is a testament to the belief that hope is as essential as the air we breathe, and that the arts are a powerful force for connection, healing, and building stronger, more harmonious communities. Through initiatives like the “Dum Spiro Spero” Sing for Hope Piano and the ongoing Sparrow Baby Medallion campaign, Sing for Hope and Foundrae are actively working together to ensure that the transformative power of the arts reaches everyone.
