In a heartfelt move resonating far beyond the festival stage, Martin Garrix has been named the newest ambassador for the Prinses Máxima Center, one of the Netherlands’ leading pediatric oncology centers.
Prinses Máxima Center is at the forefront of pediatric oncology in the Netherlands, dedicated to improving survival rates and providing the best possible care for young cancer patients. With roughly 600 children in the country diagnosed with cancer each year, the institute’s mission is critical in the fight against childhood cancer.
Garrix, the Dutch EDM superstar, is now lending his influence to support the center’s groundbreaking research and treatments for childhood cancer. Recently, he hosted a DJ course at the center, offering individual instruction to several young cancer patients. This event not only brought joy and excitement to the children but also highlighted the therapeutic power of music.
Sharing his appreciation for the Prinses Máxima Center’s mission, Garrix expressed his commitment to contributing to the cause. “I think it’s fantastic what the Princess Máxima Center does for children with cancer,” Garrix said. “I know that so many children worldwide are still dying from this disease. This motivates me to contribute to the important mission of the Máxima to cure every child with cancer, with the best possible quality of life. It is an honor to be part of an organization that plays such an important role in the lives of these children.”
The center’s Chief Medical Officer, Rob Pieters, welcomed Garrix with open arms, emphasizing the significance of his support. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Martin Garrix as our new ambassador,” Pieters said. “His support will help us take our mission globally and make a difference for all children with cancer. Together we can raise awareness that too many children are still dying from this disease and that there is an urgent need for better treatments.”
Garrix’s involvement with the Prinses Máxima Center underscores the powerful impact celebrities can have when they use their platform for good. By combining his passion for music with a commitment to social causes, Garrix is not only entertaining but also inspiring hope and positive change in the lives of young cancer patients.
