Corey Ribotsky, the managing member of The NIR Group, is involved in many charitable causes throughout the New York area including a unique and special organization, Heather on Earth Music Foundation.This very special foundation brings the joy, beauty and healing effects of music to children with various medical issues. Named after Heather Samone Fessler who died in 1985, Corey Ribotsky and the staff at Heather on Earth believe that not only can the experience of listening to music relieve some of the pain and fear of illness; the joy one feels as a person experiences the musical moment has lasting medicinal benefits as well.
