Beats 4 Hope was founded by Alex and Monica in 2016 and has provided a unique platform of events for the music community and everyday people to unite for a cause. Our mission is to empower individuals, communities, and organizations through the power of music, art and people. We strive to amplify the voices of those most in need and to foster collaborations that want to support humanity with a creative expression.

We have also learned it takes people power to make the magic happen. We can create the event but still takes people getting involved to make a difference.

Monica Martines, Co-Chief of Beats4Hope,

is a registered dietitian, national board-certified health and wellness, and fitness instructor who is deeply passionate about empowering others to live their best lives. Her clinical and fitness experiences have fueled her commitment to helping those in need, as she has firsthand knowledge of the detrimental effects of unhealthy eating, poor food quality, and their long-term consequences. She understands that these issues not only impact individuals but also have far-reaching effects on the community as a whole. When she's not in her clinical practice or teaching classes, you'll find her connecting with donors and spreading the Beats4Hope mission online, driven by her belief in the power of healthy living to transform lives and communities.
