Breaking News: Ashintosh Foundation is hosting its FIRST COFFEEHOUSE OF 2020 on Sunday 15th March! For those who are new, Coffeehouse is (arguably) one of the most highly anticipated and beloved events of the year. Held at Blackbear Lodge, this is an awesome opportunity to show off your musical/comedic/other talents, or simply enjoy a fun, relaxing night of live performances with your fellow med students and friends. Performances are up to you, and can be covers of classic hits, musical theatre, stand up skits or original works, to name a few. Whatever it is, we’d love to see you perform! Best of all, the money we raise goes directly to charity for health promotion and community outreach services 🙂

Tickets to be released soon. More info to come!

Dear Ashintosh fans (and music lovers 🎧),

Studies have shown that music has many cognitive benefits and can improve your mood. It can also improve blood flow in ways similar to statins, lower your levels of stress-related hormones like cortisol and ease pain (TIME, 2018).

In light of Ashintosh, QMO, and QMJ’s recent performance postponements, The Ashintosh Foundation and Queensland Medical Jazz are proud to present the first socially distant friendly “Livestream PB & J Sessions” (Play Beats & Jam) 🎤🎹🍯!

You (the online community) can nominate a song for our Ashintosh Band to play for you. And the best part is that it’s all live and online so you can watch us jam from home. In return, we’d really appreciate any and all donations to the Ashintosh Foundation 🐻.

Your funds would help support our endeavours and keep the Ashintosh Foundation running in this new landscape. We’re working hard behind the scenes to develop some online initiatives to support our programs – watch this space! Feel free to visit our website (www.ashintosh.org.au) or our Facebook Page to find our more! We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us during this time.

We hope that through an afternoon of music, we can bring the medical student community a little bit closer together.

Peace, love, and teddies 🧸
The Ashintosh Foundation and Queensland Medical Jazz
