A Moment That Says It All

July 31, 2025 By Rising Star Music Fund

Music That Tells a Story

There are moments that capture everything we work toward at Rising Star Music Fund—and this is one of them.

We recently received a video from our partners at CSUN featuring The Asteroids, a teenage choir made up of students in the Rising Star / CSUN music therapy program. These kids wrote the song themselves. In the video, they perform it together—backed by their music therapist, a student intern, and most importantly, surrounded by smiling, proud families.

Meet The Asteroids - Rising Star Music Fund


More Than Just a Performance

Watching this video, you’ll see more than just a song. You’ll see courage. You’ll see teamwork. You’ll see what it means for a child to be heard, supported, and celebrated.

This is why we do what we do.

Your Support Makes It Possible

Thanks to your support, Rising Star has been able to give these young musicians a space to grow their voices, build friendships, and shine on stage. Every donation helps fund opportunities like this—opportunities that change lives through the power of music.

🎥 Watch the video now and see the impact of your support in action.

From all of us at Rising Star—and especially from The Asteroids—thank you.
