Dr. Philip Autry's fight with cancer

For over two decades Dr. Philip Autry has dedicated his life to enriching the lives of music students at Fisk University in Nashville, TN and surrounding areas. Dr. Autry has served as the Department Chair of the Fisk Univerisity Music Area and Provence Governor for the area chapters of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia. Dr. Autry is truly and a man with a musical heart of gold and he is in need of your help.

Just over a year or so ago he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Though the cancer is slow-growing, the medical treatments have been taking a toll on his body. While undergoing treatment Dr. Autry has not been able to work at Fisk or conduct lessons in his private piano studio, thus leaving him and his loved ones in a bit of a financial crisis.

Dr. Autry is currently regaining his strength at a local rehabilitation facility however will not be able to afford the facility much longer as medical bills and general living expenses have depleted his remaining finances. We are not asking for a hand-out, instead, we are asking for a gift of love as he has shared his heart and soul with so many who've encountered his musical magic over the years.
