"UpBeat NYC is an after-school program located in the South Bronx which offers free music education and mentoring to students in the community. The founders of the non-profit, Liza and Rich Miller along with one of their former students Krystal Ortiz join TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Tom Llamas to talk about the impact of the program and how it creates a safe space for kids. Then, they are surprised with a $25,000 donation from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation!"
